There were environmental arguments presented against stacking rocks, and there is nothing lost to an individual by not stacking rocks. There is no hunger or suffering involved by abstaining from that, but the counterpoint was, apparently, "DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO."

    Not to mention the secondhand exposure to a shit ton of chemicals the workers and people walking by are exposed to just to move leaves around, fucking insanity just let them decompose.

      A rake works better at the intended purpose and doesn't just move the problem around with added pollution, too.

        I swear there's also reverse electric leafblowers that suck up leaves and mulch them? Like in China and Singapore I swear I've seen them mentioned or I'm just having a Mandela induced brain aneurysm...

          I don't know. I know electric leaf blowers are a thing.

          Still, rakes are cheap and do most leaf blowey jobs fine.

            Truth rakes are better or just letting leaf cover occur when it's not interfering with anything (delende est lawns and lawn culture).
