Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted October 29, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 29, 2019 Nice! I'll have 50+ of those paper leaf bags to fill once this big ass tree in my front yard decides to drop them. Probably while it's snowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably while it's snowing We had two big silver maples in the city that dropped about 50 bags of leaves. I usually waited till the wind blew them away for the most part or I blew them onto the neighbour's property lol. Up here we only have pine needles to deal with and I clean out the eaves 2-3 times a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodtick Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Fuck bagging leaves. Honda Quad cut makes it more better. I also let the wind do some of the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker mower with a grass collection system does the trick. Just raise the front of the deck up a bit and go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually clear up all the leaves at 90 percent or so down and then mulch in the rest. I also mulch in early in the cycle but when they come down heavy i rake them into a tarp and dump them in the trailer. takes longer to run to the dump than it does to fill the trailer using the tarp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulch that shit man... Either way if you want to get rid of them you break down the bulk to 10% of full leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamgreen02 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Rake and bag the thick piles of leaves. The rest gets mulched in. I'm not raking 3 acres of leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here we only have pine needles to deal with and I clean out the eaves 2-3 times a year. Pretty much exactly what I have out front. One big ol Maple tree! the dog loves it when I blow them all into a pile and he gets to play in it for a day or two so it's all worth it. Just too bad I can't blow them into the woods or out to the road where the city would come pick them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted October 29, 2019 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 29, 2019 They are a benefit to your soil/turf. MSU which is one of the most respected turf schools in the country also did a detailed study on it showing the value of mulching in your leaves. https://www.scotts.com/en-us/library/lawn-care-basics/dont-rake-those-leaves-mulch-them-your-lawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats what i use too. I never bag leaves. I run over them with the mulcher as many times as needed. Then in the spring I just bag the first couple mows and voila! My lawn is better homes and gardens lush! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted October 29, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 29, 2019 Maybe I should try and mulch with my little shitty push mower if it’s good for the lawn. I’ve heard of some leaves being bad for the grass. Maybe that was from some fruit trees at a old house In Utah in lived at. Usually by the time they all fall I’ve got a solid coating and wasn’t sure how well the mower would even cut through it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodtick Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 This is the mower I have. If the leaves are dried out,the 4 blades turns them into powder. https://powerequipment.honda.com/lawnmowers/quadra-cut. 75 foot tall silver maple in the back yard. Cleaning up the leaves sucked before I got this mower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
