Leaves and pine straw help when you're driving through sand. Use your own or get some from your neighbors for a free and environmentally friendly option.

The road to my driveway and the top of my driveway are often a sand pit. I always have an abundance of leaves and pine straw, so now when I rake I dump them in the ruts. It really helps in getting through the sand. Plus, it puts the leaves and pine straw to another good use besides mulching.
