2 of my neighbors were arguing about one of them raking his leaves into the ditch.

The mad one said that the leaves clog up the culverts and cause drainage problems and that he’d rather see them raked into a pile and burned.

Guess he’d rather smell the leaves burning than have water in his ditch.

He's right. because frick mosquitoes and stagnant water.
Or he could bag them for mulch, depending on where he lives. I wouldnt want to leave a burn spot in my front yard, but if I lived in the country I'd do it in the backyard.

Raking leaves into a ditch needed for drainage (like most are) is really dumb. If you don't have a good place to burn them safely or legally that probably means you are in a city with services that will pick them up when you bag them and put them on the curb and that is what you should do.

Is fricking stupid. I bet that neighbor smokes, drives a Dodge pickup, and is either divorced or very unhappy.

Rake leaves in ditch, then burn.

Or just mow them.

If you think raking the leaves into your adjoining drainage ditch is smart.... you are a bad person

It's illegal here to intentionally cause stuff to clog the catch basins (blowing leaves into them or the street)
