I've got more pine straw than leaves. I pick it up with my mower, but it's still a lot of work. The bins it shoots it into fill quickly, I have to get off of the mower and pack it down. If I don't stop and do that, the chute from the mower will stop up, and if that happens, you have to take it apart to get that stuff cleared.



There are two bins. The left one fills before the right. When it is completely full, I switch them out and start the process again. When I finish, I'm covered with dust from head to foot.

Thinking about getting one of these LeafCat's, or something that would make it easier.



Services want $80.00 to do the same thing themselves. To keep it clean, I have to do it every two to three weeks. Just to cheap to pay them that.

You're doing the right thing; munched leaves are good for the lawn. Mulch them to leaf-dust, then spread it around.

Blow them in the neighbors yard. The husband is a beta cuck and the wife is a fat slob.

Mulch them.

Why bother doing anything else is beyond me.

Win for the yard. Win for me.

I have a yard vacuum, mulches them better than my Honda lawnmower, put them in a pile in the backyard to compost.

I have 2 oak trees that dump a bunch of leaves.I've raked.I've blown.

The most efficient way for me is to blow them on a plastic tarp and drag them across the street and pile them at a designated spot in front of a wooded area.

It's a bitch.

The City has vacuum trucks and other equipment to pick them up.

It's my least favorite yard up-keep job.

Burn the majority in fire pit. In the next year I plan on cutting down 30-35 trees to help, most are shite trees anyways and just attract insects

We have one huge one, and our neighbor has a large magnolia. Two very pretty trees, but the leaves suck. I mow them, and put them in a yard compist pile, along with all the grass clippings from the year.

I use the compost in the garden. I actually have fun with it.
