When leaves and grass clippings are composted, a microbial process converts plant wastes to a more usable organic amendment. Grass clippings and leaves can be hauled to municipal or county composting facilities. However, many homeowners find it more convenient and economical to compost materials in their own backyards. In either case, the finished compost can be used as a soil amendment or mulch to improve most soils for gardens, landscape beds, lawn preparation or even 15% of a potting medium.
