Treehugger.com recommends electric leaf mulchers to help you use the leaves to enrich the soil in your yard. Author Stacy Tornio points out that "leaves are some of the most underutilized resources in the backyard. You can use them as organic mulch, compost, and cover for your plants and garden beds, saving you a lot of time and money over time. Having a good leaf mulcher is the key to making this possible.
When you have fallen leaves in the garden, one way to take care of them is by bagging them up and putting them out as yard waste. A more eco-friendly way to take care of them is to put them back into your own yard and garden. Yet, this can take up a lot of space and be slow to break down in your flower beds. By shredding and mulching the leaves instead, you can save a lot of space. Plus, it’ll make it easier for the material to break down in the garden soil or your compost bin."* She distinguishes them from leaf blowers in that "leaf mulchers will have a functionality much like a vacuum that sucks up the leaves into a compartment while shredding them at the same time."
