Leaf Blower or Rake?

[Nerdy]

Which do you use?

 

[Davidhibler]

Yard guy lol

 

[russtopher]

Neither. Mulching blades on my tractor.

 

[MGoBlue]

I mulch them, but down here w Bermuda grass, leaf blower works better because the leaves sit on top of the grass.

 

[Golfers Anonymous]

Leaf blower.

 

[G-Man]

I have a ravine and woods behind my house... no rakes were used in 10 falls of living here!

Mulch them

 

[Ryanr760]

Leaf blower into HOA maintained space and let those obnoxious folks deal with it.

Both! You end up chasing one group with the blower so you mess those suckers up with the rake

 

[jlew]

Don’t have leaves just yet…

 

[jbuck31]

Both
Bigger jobs, the leaf blower, small clean up, breaking out the rake.

We have to bag ours. I use a leaf vacuum, the mower with the bag on the back, and a blower.

Which do you use?

Both. Blow into piles, rake when bagging.

Blower on concrete, mulch in grass. Will do at least one rake at the very end of leaf falling season to get up all the dead grass.

Leaf vacuum...it mulches them and they go straight into the bag. Then, I enpty the bag into a trash bag.

on the left side of the house, I raked.
on the right side of the house, I used a leaf blower.

I hate them both equally. I need to get the thing for the back of the Deere.

Both. Rake helps collect them into a neat pile in the tree lawn for the city to pick up.

Mulch them up with the lawn mower. MUCH less work than raking, I don’t have piles that I have to get rid of, and the mower cuts them up so small, they disappear into the grass. Also, the mulch is good for my lawn.

We have oaks, and one of the best things organic mulches such as oak leaves do is recycle nutrients and organic matter back into the soil.

Typically mulch them up with the lawnmower. Last house it was too thick so go leaf blower.

Althought my leaf blower gets more use as a snow blower than a fall yard tool.

 

[pumbaa]

Neither we either mulch with the mower or we have a worx leave vacuum

 

[*Range Rat]

Mow over them where I can, others I suck up with a leaf vacuum and dump them around the foundation to compost.

Neither, my HOA hires a gardener
