People just blow their leaves and trash into the street to be clogged up by the sewer drain and then wonder why there’s always flooding.

I mow over them.
No, of course no one wants to rake. All of the nutrients should go back into the dirt where they came from. Why are we acting as if it’s weird to have tree parts near trees?
Not just the nutrients. Like dry stems it’s important overwintering habitat. Bugs need blankets. I keep deadmatter intact wherever possible, even if it’s just a corner of the space that’s out of view.
i bought some 12" wire panels for garden fencing and i’ll make little 3’x6’ rectangles that i pile leaves into to make little compost garden beds for next year’s planting.
edit: we get A LOT of leaves but then winter is hella windy, so if the leaves aren’t somewhat secured, they’ll just blow into the street eventually
Cant mow anything anymore, cause rake
I blow my leaves into the woods to promote composting and fertilization of new growth!
If people raked their leaves into a swale, and if houses had green roofs, there would barely be any need for sewers in the first place.
