Blowing leaves in the lake
Every fall I witness homeowners and landscapers blowing the leaves from their property into the lake. This creates a big floating island of leaves that migrate along shore or out to deeper water depending on the wind. Often, the leaf slick ends up in a cove or at the neighbors lot. I've read articles that leaves contain nutrients similar to fertilizer that in large amounts can attribute to algae blooms. Does anyone know if blowing leaves into NH lakes is illegal? It certainly should be discouraged.
