This is the best way I’ve found to effectively mulch leaves using my riding mower.
Mow and then mow in reverse directly over the same line. Leaves dissappear like magic.
My mower is a 42″ Husqvarna with the mulching attachment and mulching blades. Typically the deck is set between 3-4 when I mulch leaves.
