Livin' Like Thanksgivin'
I have been spending every free, dry weekend since early January raking leaves in my yard, as I am surrounded by trees on three sides.
I still have a lot to do, especially in the backyard where there is little-to-no grass.
My question is... being that the soil in the backyard isn't all that good to begin with, should I just mow over the leaves back there with a mulching mower, or will that even help?
Second question is... are there any tips for getting leaves up fast and easy? I used a leaf-blower a few years ago and wasn't impressed. And a lawn mower doesn't mulch it to my satisfaction. Do all you homeowners do it the old-fashioned way, with a rake?
