 Ideas for Leaf Removal

Several years ago my Dad stopped doing his own yard so he gave me his push Little Wonder leaf blower. I rigged up a makeshift tow bar for it out of heavy duty garage supports and it works great. I am fortunate in that I can drive the tractor around the house in circles, chopping and blowing at the same time. I use the back pack blower on the beds first and knock off 2.5 acres in about an hour.

In your case, you might be able to chop the leaves and then blow the chopped material into your beds. Admittedly, I am fortunate in that I can just blow everything into the woods that borders the perimeter of my yard.

 Ideas for Leaf Removal

My father was telling me that new studies show that shredded leaf mulch is good for your lawn. I guess as long as it is not spread thick!

Yup, I tie it up every spring when I put the deck back on. All the landscapers remove them as well. If you leave it down it windrows the cuttings, I wish the angle of the deflector was more adjustable so that some protection could be offered versus Zero!
