Leaf Well Enough Alone

Timothy Birdnow

Here is an article from the Nature Conservance from last month. The Liberals there argue for leaving your fallen leaves on your yard.

Brilliant idea. I fear my neighbors may not like it so much, though.

This is typical shallow liberal thinking. From the article:

So, we are to leave the leaves to allow disease-carrying pests to thrive.

I don't know about anyone else, but my goal is to reduce insects, not help them repopulate.

Also, leaving them on the yard is ultimately a fire hazzard. People burn leaves because they are flammable. In California a part of the problems with wildfires stems from environmentalists not allowing the removal of deadwood. But leaves add fuel to any wildfire. Granted, they are less likely to cause major burning, but when yu have a hot fire they will add both flame and smoke.

Also, they get slippery when wet, can hide mice and other rodents, and produce mold.

But none of that matters to the rotting vegetation in the skull set.

So, by all means, leave your yard waste to accumulate. Just don't call me when you come down with Bubonic Plague or some insect-born illness.
