City Trees Are Good For You

[hillbilly]

I just mow the grass and leave it be. No mulcher, no rake, no bag.. just mow and done. And I live in the woods except for the lot I cleared for the house. Never understood folks going apeshit over leaves landing in their yard.. even when I lived 200 feet from the town square/police dept we didn't fool with rakes or leaf blowers. The grass always grows faster and thicker than hell without any help from man kind here.

I live in the city and do the same thing.

I have a huge Magnolia that drops lots of big leaves.

I just run over them with the mower and mulch them up.

It's good for the lawn.

Like digging a hole and filling it back up - every weekend.
