'That is so true! And not just the local residents but Council Officers
too. One of my biggest battles was to convince a Parks manager to leave
Autumn leaves underneath trees rather than have them religiously removed
5 times a year. Apart from the benefits to the rhizosphere there was
also a cost saving which seemed to hit home.
