Please tell us how it is different.

purposely obtuse i suppose?

No, I'd like an explanation.

If you don't clean/mulch leaves, after rain they will "stick" to the ground - essentially covering and weighting down on grass. If you leave it as is, it will kill the grass underneath. You know how people say use newspaper to kill weeds/unwanted grass? It's the same concept.

I don’t have much grass but the leaves that land on the lawn do get mowed over. It’s astounding that you don’t know that but see fit to comment regardless. 😂

?? Yes, I do know that. That's what happens when leaves kill your grass and sticks to the ground. You can't get your blade low enough to touch it. I don't get your comment.

I don’t get yours. No leaves have killed my grass.

"Once the dead leaves get wet, they are much more likely to smother your grass, depriving it of much-needed oxygen and even sunlight. This could result in your grass dying."

What leaves stay wet long enough to kill grass. I've owned homes for 40 years and don't have this problem.

I’ve seen it a lot.

Now I see the dummy.

They don't. I stopped doing anything to the leaves on my lawn other than raking a small amount in my front yard into some plant beds. The remaining leaves have never killed my lawn. My lawn looks great. I don't touch them at all in the back and I have no problems with the grass there either. They get blown around enough to not affect my lawn.

Lightning bugs and other insects overwinter in leaf littler. We have lost approx. 1/3 of the insects that existed on this planet and it has consequences.

Stop looking in the mirror.

I think a lot depends on how many big trees you have compared to the size of your yard and what the wind tends to do with leaves on your property.

I do make a pile and mow over it, and then I use the mulched leaves as, well, mulch, under and around shrubs mostly. I don’t know if that’s gardener approved - maybe I should compost them first - but it seems to work fine.

I do it at least three times. Twice will be okay if you’re not picky.

This gardener approves!
