If you have a small lawn but it is full of leaves every autumn, then it becomes that annual chore of raking and bagging.
It can easily become 10 or more bags easily, depending on the trees in your area. But after years of tackling this chore, I decided on a different approach.
Rake some (small layer, not too thick) into your flower beds and veg gardens to rot and be ready to dig into in the spring to help nourish the soil. That should take care of some.
But What To Do with the REST?
I am not big on spending money, as most who know me, say I am somewhat "frugal" but sometimes it actually is the best investment.
What am I Talking About?
Leaf Lawnmower or Lawn Sweeper...

Yep, I said it. If you don't have a huge property or lawn to deal with, you can upgrade your lawnmower to one that actually vacuums and sucks up leaves, mulches them into the bag and now you simply empty it into those leaf bags to put at the end of the driveway.
This is totally opposite to those leaf blowers, which are super noisy especially on a weekend morning! These mowers actually suck up pine needles and leaves rather than just blow them around.
