A Few Tips For Easy Leaf Clean-Up
Of all the fall lawn and garden chores, picking up and collecting leaves is one of the least popular. There are no lack of tools and hardware contraptions to help you pick up leaves from special rakes to leaf blowers of every sort. The brisk air is here and the autumn leaves are falling and covering lawns across the nation. Below are some affordable things you can do to make your leaf raking a little easier:
Rake at the correct time: You should just about always wait for non-rainy day to pick-up your leaves because they will be less heavy and easier to work with. Obviously, less windy days are preferred because you won't be overwhelmed with more leaves moving around as you try to pick up the leaves that have already fallen. A lot of homeowners spend just about every weekend picking up their leaves. Yet several days of blustery weather just brings many more leaves for the next weekend.
Think about mulching your leaves: You can use a leaf chipper to chop your leaves into tiny pieces that can be used as mulch. You might want to consider mulching your leaves if you do not have too many to deal with. Many leaves can be used as a kind of home made mulch to keep your plants warm through the long winter months.
Use the correct tools: Electric leaf blowers are popular, but they can be loud and dirty. Some people use leaf blowers more than is necessary. Leaf blowers are imprecise tools that can often disburse more leaves around your yard. For flower beds don't use a leaf blower, instead use a small leaf rake to pull the leaves out into a clearing where you have more space. You can also get creative and use your lawn mower to shred leaves.
You can also get clever and use your lawn mower to pick up leaves. The tricks above can you complete your leaf clean up quickly and easily and give you more time to consider your next favorite outdoor chore: shoveling snow! Almost no one enjoys raking up leaves every fall but most people love the shade provided by their trees during the summer months. With a little planning the job of raking leaves from your lawn could be much less time consuming than you think.
