Recycling Leaves Improves Soils In Urbana Gardens
University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator Nancy Kreith urges homeowners to recycle fallen leaves on their property rather than bagging for curbside pickup. She explains that increasing soil organic matter improves microbial activity, air spaces, and water retention, with ideal soils testing at 5 percent OM. Leaf mulch, shredding, leaf mold, and onsite decomposition speed help weed suppression and carbon balance, reducing yard waste.
