Exactly right. It's asinine to blow leaves. They don't do any damage and they create habitats for spiders and insects. I hate poeple who want clean, empty mowed lawns, aiming for an ideal that is far away from nature. Sickening.
- voidUpdate 2y agoWet rotting leaves on a footpath are very slippery, so its helpful to be able to blow them off the footpath before they get all mushy

- sgarland 2y agoI don’t want a natural habitat in my yard. That’s what the woods behind my house are for. I want a clean, relatively flat, and soft field of grass that my kids can run around barefoot in. I’m all for natural beauty, but most people already live in urban or suburban environments. What’s the point in pretending when you’re surrounded by asphalt and brick?

Leaves are a problem in many areas, be them footpaths, roads or even railways. And good luck trying to maintain a golf course by just leaving the leaves out to rot on the grass. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58783589 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58783589 "Dry ice to help cut train delays caused by leaves on tracks"
- ericd 2y agoI'm guessing that the person you're responding to isn't a huge fan of huge expanses of tightly mowed grass in the form of golf courses, either.

- vouaobrasil 2y agoObviously move them a little with a rake, but there's no need to blow them to make a 100% clean lawn. And of course, I hate golf courses.
