Roger: Peter, I asked you to take the leaves two weeks ago! Peter: I'm waiting for all of them to finish falling. It's more efficient that way. Roger: What are you talking about?! The trees are bare! Peter: Not true. The maple tree out back still has one leaf left. Go look for yourself. Roger: You mean this one with the super glue on it? Peter: Jason, you were supposed to hide the ladder!

if you use the mower to grind them up they become thach that you must remove in the spring. if you compost them through winter you can use it on your garden come spring.

Yeah, a study at Michigan State said it’s much better for your lawn to mow your leaves back into the yard, not bag them up. It makes sense, the nutrients came from the earth, therefore taking the leaves away means you have to fertilize more. Nobody rakes the forest! Mowing just speeds up the decomposition a bit.

Seriously? Petrochemicals? The closest inorganic fertilizers get to petrochemicals is natural gas burned to make ammonia. Inorganic fertilizers are mined, not pulled out of oil wells. Also, organic fertilizers use the same amount of carbon as inorganic ones. They have no effect on your carbon footprint.

He tried the same thing with Andy in another strip. It didn’t work then either.
