I just got some grass for free that someone dug out of their lawn.where i am putting it hasnt had grass growing their in a long time was rocks i got all the rocks out and i am going to put the grass down tomorrow. this isnt the right way to do it but i dont have any money for fertilizer or anything to do it right so i will just see what happens. so i have 2 piles of leaves that have been in piles for a couple months 1 partly composted because i mixed grass in with it.so my question is would help or hurt to put all the leaves down or mix into the soil before i put the grass down.

I'd just put the sod down and skip the leaves for now.

+1. Keep the compost going and then just sprinkle the finished product over the area once it has decomposed. Sods needs good soil contact to root properly.
