I’m doing an experiment. This year I raked a bunch of leaves next to a tree trunk last fall. They’re still there, this spring.

Sounds like you have a compost pile. The tree is probably alright with that.

Depends on the leaf. Oak?

    Yeah oak breaks down slowly. You can mow it in fall to break it down faster.
    
    But a better question is just… where do you actually need to rake? Obviously more wild/leaves = better, and you’ve already figured out where the leaves want to settle. Is that okay there? Or is it a used part of your lawn that you should just rake?
