I mow late in the year and pour all my chopped maple,river birch, ash etc leaves into my mixed flower beds. I need a good light mulch to hold back winter's low temps & prevent the lilies from emerging too early in the spring. I uncover the lilies & other plants later, but leave the mulch to hold moisture and eventually break down. My soil gets better every year.
