This is what I do also, it works really well to reduce the leaf volume, plus cutting the grass lets new leaves blow through and instead of collecting again. I run the sweeper over the strip that is left and I dump them next to my compost bin since the leaves take longer to break down than grass and food scraps. The following fall I spread what's left of the pile on the empty garden and build a new pile.
