BluedepthMany years ago i encountered an article about the ecological benefits of “Not Raking Leaves In Fall” and I follow it happily now. All the trees are currently dropping dead leaves and where the wind puts them, I leave them. Every year, in the spring, I marvel at the discovery that overwinter, they get used, eaten, and rot into the ground. There is simply nothing to rake in the spring. I sort of want to kick earlier me for busting ass with raking. It’s pointless. #today #yard #leaves #raking
Tangent Fox / Nebula Rosa@Bluedepth It's kind of amazing that people don't think about what dirt is, isn't it? When you rake away plant debris, you're just stealing your own dirt and throwing it away. Worse, it's the most valuable kind of dirt, soil.
