Well, last weekend and this weekend Jeff and I had fun removing the leaves from our yard.
I mentioned to my Dad a few weeks ago that I was thinking about getting a mulcher as we typically use over 20 yard bags each year. They are not the easiest things to keep open and fill. So he let us borrow theirs to try it out. We still ended up resorting to the lawn mower for most of the pick up, but did use the blower on the mulcher to clear out spaces like the patio, and used the mulcher to get along the fence line where the lawn mower could not really get the leaves.
We also used the mulcher where the lawn mower missed either because of existing holes or uneven ground from our dogs digging in the yard...again. We haven't decided for sure but I'm not sure it would be worth a mulcher for us. A broom and rake work just as well to clear off the porch or get along the fence line. So, will we be getting a leaf mulcher? I'll let you know what we decide.
