But yeah, we are “wasting” a lot of nutrients by trashing leaves like we do.
I was raised to compost those fuckers, more people should be doing that

Tricky balance when you need to manage mold/fungal growth. But yeah, we are “wasting” a lot of nutrients by trashing leaves like we do.

when you need to manage mold/fungal growth and too much cover killing grass
“Need to” or " need to " …
The grass will be fine.
Too many leaves will definitely kill the grass.
Whether that’s a bad thing is a separate question.

I need something to prevent the soil from eroding when it rains.
Well plants and leaves can definitely help with this. Your state DNR may have resources on which plants are most effective for this in your area and site conditions.
Also, if you are getting a lot of runoff from upslope, you might need to investigate whether changes are needed at the source of this runoff rather than in the immediate area of erosion. If you can slow that upslope water and allow it to absorb in the soil up there, that help a lot even without changing anything lower down.
Hell you could kill the invasive grasses & replace them with native plants.
Unfortunately I’ve been having an issue with losing grass and dealing with erosion.
Plant a deep root plant, turff grass that’s kept short has short roots.
There are things that kill grass. And not enough sunlight is one of them.

That’s why I went for a twin blade mower. It turns everything into powder.

Does work for my depression as well?

I tried addressing that with my twin blade blower. Don’t recommend.

Not sure why it took me year to realize that this is the best solution. Its much easier than raking my huge backyard and it’s just less wasteful at the end.
