Do you? Or do you prefer the modern convenience of a leaf blower? I personally use a strategic combination of both.

Use a rake and leave some leaves to feed your lawn with by using a mulching mower.

| | | | I'm sorry, but I just think that leaf blowers are one of the dumbest inventions ever. I could see if it actually sucked up the leaves, but it just blows them around. I've always found racking to be one of the least labor intensive yard chores anyways. Do people really need gasoline powered engines to put leaves in a flippin' pile?

And as I said earlier, electric leaf blowers are a good alternative to gas ones.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: Isle of Lucy | | | I use a combination of a mulching mower, gas powered leaf blower ('lectric don't cut it in my neighborhood, you should see all these damn trees), and a rake. My local township runs more leaf collection than snow plowing. I'm not opposed to throwing the odd pitchfork in here and there, either.
