So much depends on your ratio trees/open area or mulchable area or compost pile-able area. And no matter what, some leaves keep appearing on lawn all winter.
Well, pretty rude remark from that reporter! I don't know all the context but of course "stuff" happens and not everybody may feel they can spend the money! I enjoy the outdoors and how many homeowners could use a little more exercise

Francine, best thing I can say with any weed is get them before any new seeds drop. If you cut off horsenettles, they might not grow back- not sure..
I rake and try to keep all our leaves some way. Some of my fenced vegetable garden is planted for fall/winter, but I'm piling leaves there. They're contained by the fence and I'lll work on turning them now and then. Come planting time, 'll be using the remainder as mulch.
