Please tell us how it is different. [/quote]

purposely obtuse i suppose? [/quote]

No, I'd like an explanation. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

So as long as they are mowed over, (not bagged), they will enrich the soil.

I rake leaves from the driveway and mow over them. [/quote]

Yes the best thing to do, if you have time and tools, is to mulch them over. Just keep going over and over and try to break it down to smaller pieces. Keep an eye on rain though. You want to do it while they are dry. It's so much easier that way. If people are concerned about bagged leaves going to landfill, in most jurisdictions, they are recycled. I usually dump it in the wooded area of my yard. [/quote]
