The Villages is far removed from the real world. In day of old in the real world, I used to use my rotary mower. I kept a really old one with a side discharge for this purpose.
Neighbors would spend hours raking leaves and bagging them. I would never pick up my leaves I would use my rotary mower to chop them up and blow them into the beds.
A few hand fulls of high nitrogen fertilizer mixed in and in the spring I had no or little work compost. Here many think sandy clay is normal and or good.
