The Campaign Against Leaves

[dan_pdx]

Its the catholic church across the street so zero fucks given on any stray leaves

Well, you definitely can't hire a neighbor boy to come rake them, that's for sure

Imagine what would happen if you did nothing at all.

My driveway drainage culverts would plug up with leaf dams and flood the garage if it didn’t turn the driveway into a blue ice glacier first by freezing.

I do only blow out the drainage trenches and culverts for water passage. A lot more winter rain storm events these days followed by cold North clearing winds to freeze it all. Love New England in Winter!

The yard would die and the wind would push them 3 feet deep in front of my door during every storm, then the dogs and cats bring them in for me to pick up inside all winter.

We fill up our yard waste bin every week; it will take until January to get rid of all the leaves

Luckily SPU allows you to put a number of biodegradable / paper yard bags out next to your green bin during the fall. I’d check if your local allows the same. Our transfer station also has a reduced fee for yard waste during the fall…

We can put them out, but it's $3.50 per bag or whatever. Rather just wait and put them in the yard waste sometime during the winter when there's nothing in it. Also nice to have some leaves around to put in the bottom of the bin before the kitchen compost goes in

Kill your lawn.

[zion zig zag]

Kill your lawn.

Good plan, then we can get mud tracked in the rest of the year.

[XXX-er]

At the local mtn bike trails a mud/ leaf combo on the singletrack is slippery so the leaves get removed every year. Get shuttled to the top and I have walked 10km running a leaf blower of which the association owns half a doz

[Mazderati]

You can yell get off my mud instead.

[k2skier112]

Oh, I’ve had a few boomer relatives have their nice shade trees taken down b/c of the leaf cleanup.

I helped pay for my (much older) neighbor's tree ('s-2) to be removed. I got more of the leaves from them, but he got the roof damage

So now, win win

I cut down 2 in the back for a new shed, then the other neighbor cuts his big tree down

After raking, mulching, bagging and blowing, (mostly my neighbors trees), for over 30 years, it's glorious now

I don't want my lawn to die, but struggling to survive is okay with me.

I'm not a big fan of mowing the grass.

This Labrador lives for giant leaf piles:

Stop it.

Ok, Bob Newhart.

Moved to FL, thought my leaf days were done. Southern Oaks drop leaves and acorns twice a fucking year. The leaves are small and get stuck into everything. It is a year long problem it seems.
Funniest part- 2 hurricanes blow through, and the m'fer is now dropping acorns. 100 mph f'ing winds, and 2 weeks later still dropping acorns. Dick.

[m2711c]

mmm... pancakes.







fact.

[altacoup]

It’s November, freezing at night, it’s already snowed and the leaves on my 2 biggest trees are still green. Grew up on the Oregon coast with evergreens. Fucking deciduous trees are a pain in the ass. Love the shade in summer but man I cleaning them up. And the gutters are the absolute worst. I’ve got 20 trees on my small suburban lot. 5 ponderosas and the rest varying deciduous. I blow them onto the lawn and suck them up with the lawn mover. I’d vote for the most Mormon maga asshole mayor if I could just blow them into the street once a week and have the city pick them up. Leaves are literally my least favorite part of being a home owner.

Live Oaks. Beautiful when covered in Spanish Moss in Lowcountry, annoying as all get out anywhere else the rest of the year.


I just got the neighborly OK to cut a huge broad leaf Oak tree limb down from my neighbor’s yard that hangs over my driveway. Drops sap like a motherfucker so bad twice a year that I can’t see out my car windows without rinsing them off.

I’ve got the kid washing cars once a week during these times.

I can’t wait to season and burn the shit out of this tree.

[Touring_Sedan]

Fuck Raking.

so I find it ironic that people who don't own houses or if they do the leaves are still sitting there but they come to the bike area trails TO blow leaves
