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.

Apparently the old guy on the corner has been doing this for 30 years according to him.

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.

That plus lazy idiots blowing their grass clippings into the street are major contributors to drainage deficiencies.

It amazes me just how fricking ignorant people are to this.

Rake leaves in ditch, then burn.

Or just mow them.

You have to be pretty damn lazy to rake your leaves in a ditch. It's illegal to do so here.

They end up tucked in the gutter after a few cars pass by. Then the rain carries them into the drains.
