Leaves are just like that, I just bought a leaf blower, so it's not such a big deal...
Most gardens are now so small that raking is not much slower than blowing leaves. The somewhat more rudimentary removal of leaves has several advantages:
[*]no noise - a benefit for neighbors and animals, but also for yourself, because you can do it at noon or on Sunday. [*]insects are not deprived of their food source [*]as a result, the humus-forming top layer remains better preserved [*]this protects plants better against drought and cold [*]no unnecessary stirring up of fine dust [*]no unnecessary energy consumption / emissions
Ultimately, a raked garden becomes more beautiful and healthier than a garden mistreated by a leaf blower. Tip: Feel free to leave some - preferably raked together - lying around; more insects, caterpillars, fireflies, birds will come - everyone benefits.
You clean the gravel driveway? I haven't thought of that yet. Of course, I clear away masks, bank statements, coffee cups when we get mistaken for a trash can again. Leaves somehow hardly ever stay.
It’s about leaves. They fly around everywhere and also spread onto neighboring properties. Of course, I want to collect them before anyone can complain. I’m not doing anything yet because it’s still a construction site with [Füllsand].
