Never Again
 
Will I fish to much and not rake my lawn in the fall, OMG what a nightmare.

There is like 4 times as much crap on my lawn than last year

What happened to kids that mowed lawns and raked up leaves in the spare time to get some money to buy a bike or something. When I was a kid that is all I did is hustle for money

Times have changed, Lazy fat as video game playing shut ins

so you have no blower i take it and the leaves are wet and heavy

from the rain...

No we have very few leaves, we have pine needles buy the bail, I do have a blower but I like to dethatch it as I rake it

there are so many that my lawn is rust colored. also they are deep into the grass and the grass is packed down from 4 feet of snow on it all winter.

pine needles
 
are there allot of them in your area?

they make excellent mulch for strawberry beds...
because they are acidic and straw berry's need an acid soil

you could place an add on Craig's list free section

for free straw berry beds mulch

all the pine needles you want...

and see if you get any response

you'll be surprised i'll bet
