When autumn casts leafs over your garden the only solution is to rake or brush them from your grass and onto edges or pathways to be swept up. Do NOT leave the leafs on your garden as when these autumn leafs begin to decompose they will shed acids into your grass staining the colour and reducing the growth of the grass into the new year. So be sure to rake them up. Bently rakes are good but if you have grass, then a grass rake will be needed, but you can use a brush also, a hard bristled brush will remove the leafs from your lawn.
