OK, just to let you know - I only rake leaves once a year. The whole idea of trying to keep up with the leaves each week is like trying to carry 5 gallons of water up a hill with your hands.
Kudos to my neighbor who keeps up with the raking each week, but 30 minutes after he's done, you can't tell the difference between the two yards. Besides, I just throw the leaves in the garden for winter mulch.
I must say I am a bit behind on this one - I haven't raked the leaves yet, and now there's snow on the ground - hopefully things will dry up in the next couple days, so we can get it done.
