Do you think we don't have trees and lawns in Europe?
- tragictrash 4y agoDo you think they think you don't have trees and lawns in Europe? Why are you acting like this is hard to understand?

- feet 4y agoBecause the statement was framed as a purely american problem
- nkrisc 4y agoOf course I don’t think that. What made you think I did? Because I stated something that can happen?
- chrisseaton 4y agoBecause someone asked 'why do they do this in America when they don't do it in Europe' and your explanation was 'because if you have lawns trees can smother them'. That doesn't make sense as an explanation to the question unless you think having lawns and trees or not is a difference between Americans and Europeans. Otherwise how does it apply?
- nkrisc 4y agoAll I stated was that if you have a lawn, it is possible for uncollected leaves to kill or damage parts of your lawn. I don't know why "they" don't do it in Europe, I have no idea where the commenter I replied to is from in Europe. I was just stating one reason why people do it here. Q: "Why do people in America clean leaves off the lawn?" A: "Because it's possible it can damage the lawn if you don't in some circumstances." Simple as that. No idea why people do or do not do it elsewhere.
- feet 4y agoWhy would it be any different elsewhere? Plants generally work the same no matter which country you're in.
