Abstract
A leaf mulching attachment is provided for connection to a conventional lawn mower. The attachment comprises a plate having inwardly extending tines and defining openings, with the plate being adapted for positioning in front of the grass ejection chute. The plate is connected to the housing of the lawn mower in a manner in which the plate and tines avoid contact with the normal grass cutting blade of the lawn mower, permitting the lawn mower to be used for cutting grass and mulching leaves without changing the cutting blade.
