Yeah. Every year I see the "Leave the leaves" messaging. And every year I roll my eyes because I live in the Pacific Northwest where the leaves turn into a huge pile of slime, harbor non-native slugs and snails, and spread disease from rain bouncing off the diseased piles of leaves and back up onto my plants.
I have lost so many shrubs over the years - entire hedges even - from various molds and fungal diseases.
I rake what I can, but, believe me, there are plenty of leaves I can't reach or don't have enough time and energy to remove.
