I agree. However, leaves should be left in place as much as possible or carefully raked into beds or a spot where they can rest for winter. It is a myth that a thin layer on your lawn will kill the useless green carpet. Many beneficial invertebrates are overwintering in the leaves. Blowing, especially, and raking can kill them. Dead plant material is Nature's compost and favo ...[text shortened]... live on as lake. I suspect their gardening method is doing damage to the groundwater and the lake.
Better to throw them in the composter.

kaka bamboozle wishes a fiery horrific painful death on his fellow man. kaka bamboozle accuses others of being misanthropic (projecting own inadequacies), but time and again exposes himself as such.

I admit, though, what normally happens is I leave them until I mow. I use a mulcher, and it shreds everything down to bits and redistributes that on the lawn.

Gas is short for 'gasoline', which youall call petrol.

Throwing leaves into the composter will kill nesting invertebrates. There is a significant decline in invertebrates worldwide due to climate change.

Actually, you are destroying nesting invertebrates. Better to leave a thin layer of leaves on the lawn and rake excess into beds or a spot where the lea es can remain till early spring.

What is this 'petrol' you speak of?

Oh, British slang. We don't speak British. I'm surprised you do.
Identity issues I spect.

You could rake your entire two islands in one day, right?
suziman,

Half a day if you use a leaf blower.

kev bamboozle would like to blame his current physical condition on someone else, anyone else rather than man-up and take responsibility for his own poor choices and laziness.

awww boohoo the tobacco Co. made me abuse tobacco products boohoo

When he's choking, not on the world, but on a jam donut he blames some fella thousands of miles away that made a funny vid.

Mulching the leaves with a mower as they fall helps with composting and maintains the bug habitat.

My neighbor sprays and hires landscapers for everything. His yard is pretty but sterile. Too quiet.

Kewpie wont take kindly to your thinking,,,,,it is as if you say we should not eat a mouse, but maybe it would be acceptable if one dices it up in small bits and consumes a few bits each day!!!

It's liquid. Regular gasoline but for a two stroke engine it has to have oil added to the gasoline to lube the engine since there is no oil pump or oil flowing inside, lubrication is done ONLY by the burning gas/oil mixture which is why the damn things smoke and they are notoriously unreliable. I converted my chainsaw to battery and my weed whacker to battery, MUCH more reliable, if the battery is charged it runs, but those two stroke monstrosities maybe runs and maybe not, depending on what planet is showing I guess, Venus, it runs, Mars, it takes time off🙂
