My family has always, for many decades, just left the grass where it
fell. It has never been necessary to add fertilizer, as we don't bag
up the potassium and phosphorus and haul them away. Collecting
clippings is dumb. I have never understood why anyone awould want to
do it.

I mulch my grass, I was referring to leaves of deciduous trees. They
smother the lawn.

It was a general remark, provoked by mention of a grass catcher. I
didn't quite accuse you of bagging the grass. Smother isn't really the
word, but leaves will kill the grass.

Sure, smother is the right word. The inability of the grass to take in
CO2........
As well as lack of sunlight.
