More leaves....

[nightfighter]

Last nights wind deposited a fresh layer of leaves all over my twice previously swept yard.... Gotta love those upwind neighbors who don't give a damn. I had blown the "last" of them into a big pile curbside and had a landscraper bud vacuum them up for me yesterday, before the wind blew them all over the place. Guess the Echo backpack isn't quite done for the season yet....

if they are OAK leaves ya bag em , their tanic acid content prevents things
from growing and they take forever to decompose

if they are maple leaves ya grind em, better for the lawn to make worm food
out of them than to haul them away

oak leaves when dry won't crunch in your hand to bits
maple leaves will.

Another neighbor, who was also on the receiving end of the leaves, has put a snow fence up around two sides of the offending neighbor's property..... after blowing the leaves out of his yard into theirs!

They're called leaves not takes.. in other words, I leave em where they fall..

I blow all my leaves to the neighbors yard across the street.

Oh %$%$%$%$ he reads this board

My neighbors are pretty good.......I will do mine if they do theirs....otherwise the leaves are left for the culprit who put them there to take them away...Mother Nature!! I love the idea of the snow fence though! That will not only keep the leaves out but send a clear message to the offending neighbor!!

Late fall I cut my lawn VERY low a few times.
Then I watch some of my neighbors clean their leaves on a weekly basis.
Usually the weekend after thanksgiving is when I clean up the leaves.
Every year they seem to be blown in piles in the same areas so I have minimal raking/blowing.
4-5 hrs with my kids and 1 or 2 loads in one of my dump trucks and done.

You do it smart Ronnie as do I! I love the people that start real early and wind up raking the yard 12 times!!! Come on people!!! Do it once ya dunce!!!
