    Hi, I wonder what people who know advise please........which is less bad for the lawn - to walk all over it and rake up leaves (quite sparsely scattered) or leave the leaves?

    It's a toss up between the leaves shading the grass or the damage you do by walking. To be honest walking won't do much harm normally provided it's not frosty. Personally I'd leave the leaves, at the moment on my lawn the worms are doing a great job of aerating. They are pulling some of the leaves down into the soil at the same time. I'm trying to avoid walking on the worm casts and letting them to it.
