Easy Leaf Pickup

It is fall, it is cold, and there are a TON of leaves on the ground. You know that you have to rake them up, but you just can't face the rake and bags this year.

Don't! There is a much easier way if your lawnmower has a bag.

I will usually do a walk through of the yard and check for any large twigs or toys. I will use the rake just to pull any leaves from the garden beds into the yard.

Now just place the bag on your lawnmower and crank it up. Mow the leaves just like you would your lawn. The leaves will be caught in the bag and are much easier to distribute as mulch over your gardens for the winter or for placing in your compost bin.

Take the rest of the afternoon off now and enjoy a game with the kids!
