    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.

        Yeah, mostly oak. Maybe some maple from neighbor trees. And maybe a few other species. But mostly 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?
