    I don’t view this as a “pick up the leaves or not” false choice. I leave the leaves in some areas and mow over/pick them up in others. They’re literally free mulch and compost

      If you leave them all in place they all turn into free mulch and compost anyway. And you avoid using the fossil fuels to power the mower you don’t need in the first place.

        I have a battery powered mower and utility has done a pretty good job of incorporating renewables into their mix

        I also have some small spots where I want grass
