It is important to use a mulching mower for this strategy so that the leaves get ground up into small pieces.
Mowing at a lower height will grind up the leaves more effectively and save lots of time raking. Mulching mowers do not work as well when the leaves are very thick, or when the grass is very long or wet, so it takes longer to finish mowing.
