Like I’m not even an expert but I coulda told you that nature already knows what to do with the leaves (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/to-rake-or-not-to-rake-expert-tips-for-eco-friendly-autumnal-lawn-care). This isn’t just conservatives, who usually do the yard work themselves, but liberals too. Except the libs hire immigrants to do landscaping, rake the leaves, and then leave them in bags for trash guys to pick them up where they’ll go to a landfill or be burned or whatever.
the only acceptable leaf raking is when they’re on a footpath because when they get wet they’re a slip hazard
but then you just rake them onto the grass, it’s free compost
NO! WE MUST GET RID OF THE NATURAL LAWN FERTILIZERS! ONLY SYNTHETIC FERTILIZERS!
I do it because the landlord tells me I have to do it. :/
I will NOT rake the leaves
I will NOT turn the river rocks
I will NOT let the cats out in the open
The sound of a leafblower makes me wanna go nuclear
Oh my god if I were given any level of political power literally the first thing I’d do is ban gas leaf blowers. Electric ones are on thin ice.
For thousands of years we’ve had a device to remove dirt and leaves from paths, it’s called a BROOM. They’ve played us for absolute fools.
