More Leaves

Okay, the leaves are getting to be a real problem, as I mentioned a few posts ago. And, they fall from neighbors trees. Maybe I should send them a box of leaves as a hint. I can’t do that. They are all nice people - with leaves.

So, I’ve been check on machines to mulch them up. A regular lawn mower doesn’t work very well. And, I’ve discovered several products that claim they make mulching leaves a snap. However, further investigation reveals that many of the machines use ‘weed eater’ line and that wears out fast - especially if a small stick gets into the works. The demonstrations I’ve seen have you gathering up the leaves into a pile and then taking a hand full and putting it into the machine. One hand full at a time is going to take a long time in my yard.

My best plan seems to be, wait and see if we get a strong wind blowing toward the neighbors.
