    Hedgehogs love leaves. And fuck yes do I want some rodents in my yard. I love bunnies. Why would I not want cool ass beetles? And I’m sure the little lizard wouldn’t mind as well.

    Fuck the monoculture you call grass. I have a local wildflower yard.

      You’re making a whole lot of assumptions about me here, which I’ll ignore.

      Here are some reasons why I think this is a bad idea for many people. My good friend and neighbor just has rodents (mice in this case) do $7000 in damage to his car by chewing holes in his wiring harness. Also depending on your climate, said leaves are wonderful homes for cockroaches to breed, which I assume you don’t want unless you are insane. This was a major issue in Florida if I didn’t immediately rake of the vast bed of oak leaves. I have no problem with “good” rodents. Rabbits, squirrels, chipmonks, headehogs (are these even in the US? I’ve never see one of these anywhere I’ve live), etc. It’s is the mice and rats that can and will ruin your stuff and can majorly screw up your life. Good luck with your leaves.

            I love danger noodles. Especially since they’re not dangerous where I live. I will not commit to making my yard be void of life because I am incapable of using flea shampoo. I will also stay far away from wild animals, like you should.
