For the record, I mow (mulching blade) my leaves. However, I feel that this is also an acceptable option because of the joy it brings. We need more #joy.

@breadandcircuses An important point. Although I’m not sure I agree with the advice of burning petrol to mulch leaves on the lawn. Just leave them and they’ll magically disappear (the worms pull them in to the earth).

Autumn!

The season of the honking sounds of migrating geese, of the mating calls of deer in the distance, of the light spatter of dew falling as rain from the trees in the morning fog.

And all around all day long the horrible buzzing noise of leafblowers!

@breadandcircuses mulching mower works for me

Anyone who have ever learned about Ernst Götsch ideas - Syntropic Agriculture, also described as successional agroforestry - knows it well.

Mr. Götsch did not invented the Syntropic Agriculture, but he wisely summarized a lot of long ago developed knowledge throughout humanity eras.

@breadandcircuses the obsession with raking leaves has always fascinated me. they turn into dirt pretty quickly.

@breadandcircuses tell that to my 4 year old, who seems determined to place every single leaf in the country into my handbag.

@breadandcircuses it’s information like this that allows me to say “I’m not lazy, I’m helping the environment!”

@breadandcircuses The council likes to blow them around with a petrol driven leaf blower. I'm unsure why.

@breadandcircuses I would always advise my garden clients to do this! Some listened, some didn't. I tried to encourage them that relocating the leaves is cool too - move them into your flower beds and let them be mulch there, if you want a more "tidy" look. Leaves do good work!

And heck - for those clients that I worked for, you're spending less money on your gardeners if you save us time like this 😂

@breadandcircuses tried this once, it killed all my grass 😕

Fireflies, lightning bugs require leaves to stay for their lifestyle. When we see glowing bugs dancing in the evening air, you know they had a great fall the previous year.

Always leave the leaves for fireflies!
