In response to "I feel like sweeping or blowing away fallen leaves is just a sisyphean task. What's the point when the wind is just going to blow the leaves" by Krusty

The key in the suburbs is to be the last to mow. Tallest grass catches the most leaves. But yeah, there are always more leaves.

You can spend hours cleaning it up and the next day it's back.

I have woods access in my back yard so I'll rake them onto a tarp and just drag them to the woods, but I never get them all. I don't mind leaving them but if it's too many it chokes out the grass and they get really gross.

I've heard it can be an issue for lawns but I've also heard you can just mow them with the grass and then it's good for the lawn. *shrug* - Krusty Oct 24, 05:42 1
