Leaves

Is blowing them in the neighbors yard bad? They don't seem to believe high winds overnight. I may be in trouble.

You’re doing it right.

We have LOTS of leaves, but every Tuesday they disappear. Oddly enough, Alfonso parks his truck in front of the house every Tuesday. Coincidence?

Very interesting. Looks like we have narrowed it down to having something to do with Alfonso's truck?

Hmmm. It also seems that when the leaves go away the grass gets shorter, too. I'm thinking it may also be related to the truck.

In our town, we are "allowed" to use very large black bags to bag up our leaves and then leave them on the sidewalk for pick up at an underdetermined time between last week and Dec 18th. Those hundreds of thousands of black bags take decades and decades to decompose in the local landfill.

I'm not putting out black bags this year. I'm grinding them up with my shoulder held sucker upper/mulcher and spreading them around the edges of the property on the golf course at night so I don't get in trouble. There is a15' x 25' piece of the "rough" next to my house that never gets water and so has very deep cracks. I think the ground up bradford pear and maple and dog wood leaves will help there.

I take care of the leaves with a blower. It doesn’t take long.

Where do you blow them to? Neighbor’s yard? ?

Well, from all the available evidence, it would appear that Alphonso's truck likes to nibble on the grass!

Simple solution! Sell your house! Move to Florida, & buy a house that has no trees with leaves! That's what I did!
Love it here in St. Augustine!

That is awesome! Connects to the PTO, just like a bushhog?

They also make one with its own power unit you can tow behind a 4 wheeler
