mowerman Posted Wednesday at 02:05 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:05 PM OK, the wife got after me to start picking up our leaves. Yes we have a bit of foliage here not like you guys back there but just when I’m gonna get started. It’s supposed to rain at 10 o’clock or start raining ain’t that a bitch? I don’t think it has rain here in three months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted Wednesday at 02:48 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:48 PM I don't have too many leaves to deal with here, But when I lived in Gladys I was covered up with leaves! 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

tjc transport Posted Wednesday at 06:45 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:45 PM my opinion is if god wanted the leaves picked up and put out to trash, he would make then fall in the bags and bins at the curb. back in the 60's we had perfect green lawns without any chemicals or fertilizers applied, because we let the leaves fall where they did and rot. now people pick them up before they can deteriorate and spend a small fortune trying to grow grass. 1 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

1958 F.W.D. Posted Wednesday at 11:01 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:01 PM I have a LOT of leaves from four oak trees but all I have to do is blow them to the curb and the town comes and vacuums them up 3 or 4 times every fall. 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I started blowing them towards Australia. 1 4 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brocky Posted Wednesday at 11:57 PM Popular Post Share Posted Wednesday at 11:57 PM I just mulch them up with the lawn mower... Start at the house and by the time I get to the ditch they are a fairly fine powder that washes away or soak/rot in with the winter rains.. 5 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted Thursday at 12:00 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:00 AM I would blow mine towards the woods on one side in the front yard and into the woods behind the house. By the time they were all gone I would have a wall of leaves almost chest deep. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mowerman Posted Thursday at 04:39 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 04:39 PM I think that’s what we have. We call them trash trees. They look real nice in the summertime, but they can get real messy this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with one in my backyard. If I had a nickel for every one of those things I picked up as a kid, I'd be a rich man! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
