In other words are leaves left on the ground better for the subsequent years grass or should they be raked up and disposed of surrounded by the garbage.
Answers: The fall leaves do indeed make a fertilizer for the subsequent year. However, this is intended for the tree that dropped the leaves. Leaves tend to smother lawn grasses, especially larger leaves. Use the mulching piece of your lawn mower (if available) to finely shred the grass as you mow. That will provide the grass with the natural matter it requests.
You shouldn't throw the leaves away, though. Use them as mulch around shrubs and perennials, or just to cover stripped ground through the winter. This is the easy but slower agency to recycle them. Or, you can compost the leaves in merely about any corner of your patio. This requires a little more work within turning the pile, and making sure it stays moist enough.
P.S. Mike B's answer is correct more or less the lightning. Specifically, though, the lightning causes atmopheric nitrogen to spatter with the rainfall drops. Nitrogen is a main ingredient for a nourishing compost pile.
I mulch mine...leave some mulch to build up the soil and use some contained by flower beds.
