its that time of year again, time to pick up some leave! Whats your prefered method of leaf removal? I like to blow em all into big piles then rake them up onto a tarp and dump em in a big leaf pit in the woods to rot. After a couple years you can go in and dig down into the pile of rotting leaves and find some real nice soil/compost and use it to plant really beautiful things. anyone else have a favorite leaf removal technique?

Gasoline and matches over here. You can find me easy, just look for the house with the lawn on fire.

For the past 10-12 years ive been raking my lawn which is huge all together probably like 3 acres and we have about a dozen old growth maple trees. The last 4-5 years i've been handling this all on my own.
This is my first year away from home and my dad bought a huge DR mulch vacuum and its totally bullshit .
