Another approach

Having several trees in my yard they are now producing leaves that are all over the ground. The other day I raked up what I could and waited for my son to help me put them in bags. Waiting doesn't get the job done I found. I was just about to do it myself when I noticed my son was using a leaf blower I didn't even know we had. He was sucking up the piles of leaves and depositing them in the humus pile. Who knew? It would have been nice to burn them, but we are under a burn ban due to the wind. At least the job is done for another year. I am happy that I have at least one child who is willing to help. Thanks Jeff!
