    Leaves go away by themselves quickly, in my experience. It’s worm food. Worms are good for soil health. It also feeds the plants and can act as insulation for roots of shrubbery during cold snaps. Yes, if it is a particular thick and wet layer, it can rot the grass underneath. I have seen green thumb people spread it around their lawn and shove it under their bushes. But I guess if you are going for constant golf course style, you have to buy other nutrient and manage the leaves. But golf lawns are ugly.



  • My personsl hypothesis is that when couples are living in times of prosperity or growth, they can see a future and can comfortably grow a pension, then they are likely to consider having kids. This also happens to be the time they are getting a share of the wealth society generates.

    In recession and uncertain times, couples tend to hold of on getting kids, and if they do get kids, they do it much later in life, when they have saved some money.

    Of course couples need free time as well. If both parents need to work full time, it’s gonna be a lot less palatable to have kids.

    I think the global low fertility is the problem of infinite growth self correcting.
