Tricky balance when you need to manage mold/fungal growth and too much cover killing grass. But yeah, we are “wasting” a lot of nutrients by trashing leaves like we do.

That's why I went for a twin blade mower. It turns everything into powder.

Does work for my depression as well?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

There are other powders for that

I tried addressing that with my twin blade blower. Don’t recommend.

Jesus Christ what was I thinking! That would have hurt hell! Turns around

Not sure why it took me year to realize that this is the best solution. Its much easier than raking my huge backyard and it’s just less wasteful at the end.

I was raised to compost those fuckers, more people should be doing that

"Need to" or " need to " ...

The grass will be fine.

Too many leaves will definitely kill the grass.

Whether that's a bad thing is a separate question.

Hell you could kill the invasive grasses & replace them with native plants.

Unfortunately I’ve been having an issue with losing grass and dealing with erosion.

Plant a deep root plant, turff grass that's kept short has short roots.

There are things that kill grass. And not enough sunlight is one of them.
