Black and Decker Leaf Hog..... Mulches 16:1 In some areas of my yard, I take the bagger off and just blow the leaf dust back into the yard.

What I'd really like to do is chop down about three quarters of the leaf producing machines but my other half objects as does the DNR, county zoning and probably a few other tree hugging agencies.Leave a comment:

Technically, the good city of Olathe, Kansas, requires you to bag. I don't--my back yard has a section I'm going to turn into a flower garden for my wife someday, and for now that's where I put them. Then I let nature take its course. By Spring it's nice and peaty.
Now, my parents' neighborhood just inside the eastern boundaries of Mooresville, you supposedly can rake them right up to the street and then someone will come and remove them for you. Supposedly, I said. The week I was home the truck never showed up to do it...Leave a comment:

Really only brush up the leaves that fall on the garden paths & patio, to avoid anyone slipping. These then go in the 'garden' wheelie bin along with other garden clippings & twigs, which is collected fortnightly throughout the year by the council who mulch everything, down then it's recycled/reused as compost in local public green spaces such as roadside flowerbeds & parks.
The leaves on the lawn pretty much stay leaves on the lawn, although I do rake a pile to the border at the back as I have a resident hedgehog that appreciates it come winter
Come spring most of the leaves have disappeared naturally revealing a lush green lawn ready to mow.

My option isn't on here. Mow the lawn several times and let 'em fly. (There's only one section of our yard that gets a fair amount of leaves).Leave a comment:

If we were to sell our house (we're not) one of the main selling points would be that at the far back end of our yard is a very steep drop-off. We have many trees and massive amounts of leaves every fall. Raking them on a tarp and dragging them down to and shaking them down that embankment is about as easy and economical as it gets.Leave a comment:

That is my other and the same reason.Originally posted by crispy View Post
Remember a proposal a few years ago to have all the forested lands raked and "cleaned up" by some who were clueless to the damage that would cause and the vast areas involved?Leave a comment:

Other. I blow them across the street into the forest of the bazillion acres that that guy owns. I just hope he outlives me (well, sorta) since he said this method is fine with him. Lotta people with fancy cars sure get gunshy driving through a pile (small) of leaves.Leave a comment:

All of the above, Except for hire to have it done.
I take care of my mother's very rural lake cottage: much gets blown away by the wind, for the rest it's burn baby burn!
Her house in town has rake-to-the-curb-we'll-suck-'em-up service.
My town requires bagging. I also set aside several bags to use as mulch and compost.Leave a comment:

Our only option is bagging. We do it ourselves.
If a few more come down after we've done the big rake-and-bag, I'll mulch them with the mower.Leave a comment:

Because my yard has more than 100 leaves. Seriously, if I mulched my leaves, my yard would look like it is covered with mulched leaves. I would have more mulch than grass.Originally posted by crispy View PostLeave a comment:

Really?
Why is mulching them up with the mower not an option?
Why would you rake up good fertilizer for next year?Leave a comment:
