Hi Folks.
I don't know very much about gardening or landscaping so please excuse me if this is a silly question, but can I used mulched fallen leaves as a bed for a playground? I have ready that chopped leaves can make a nice nutritious mulch for gardens and can be used to decorate trees and shrubs. But can I use it to place underneath my kid's playground as an alternative to standard mulch or rubber mulch? I guess my real question is, if I did that would it decompose into a nasty moldy mess. I think freshly mulched fallen leaves might make a nice bed but if it will, as I suspect, turn to a soggy nasty mess it's not a good idea. Juts trying to deal with lots of leaves while saving money on purchasing something for the playground.
Any thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
