I watched it as others did,but I could not see the point of employing
two gardeners to collect all the fallen leaves to compost and then
return to place them under the same trees that they had been collected
from in the first place.
If they had been left alone as nature intended they would have turned
to compost by themselves.

Even if they'd been blown all over the garden first? ;-)
The compost bins kept them in one place and the heat generated by a
composting heap would have accelerated their breakdown, I expect. And I
don't think that was the two gardeners *only* occupation!
