DEL.ICIO.USWhat’s the best way to get rid of leaves?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s fall in North Georgia, so that means it’s time to rake leaves. On the day after Thanksgiving, that seems like a good chore to me: burn a few calories after Thursday’s eating overkill, make the yard look better … good balance.
Assuming you agree (and if you don’t, by all means speak up,) what’s your preferred method of leaf removal? Personally, I like raking, followed by some mowing. The mower does a good job of chopping up the leaves, but the silence of raking is hard to beat.

I don’t love raking leaves, but I do it. I pile the leaves in the back of the yard to decompose or use as mulch. Sometimes I use a push mower with a mulcher to chop up the leaves and leave the residue on the lawn.
I don’t use a blower normally though I have one. My shoulder is sore from raking this year for the first time.
I don’t believe in burning leaves, nor do I believe in putting them in bags to go to the landfill.

Why do people believe in ancient texts and use them as a roadmap to live by?
Why are we only technologically advancing and not advancing socialagically?
Why are evangelicals listened to? NODD (not open to dumb discourse).
