Default Leaves on lawn

Hi all
We have a medium sized sycamore tree just over our garden fence. I have
raked off some of the leaves from the lawn and bagged them for mold.
What should I do with the rest of them? Rake them off, leave them on,
what?


Rake them off and bag them, or build a compost heap.

If you leave too many on the grass the grass will die off.

But by going over them with the mower, it will chop them smaller and they
will compost quicker, but as Alan says, don't leave them too long on the
grass. However the leaf fall doesn't last for ever so a cut say once every
14 days will be OK
