Baroclinic Zone Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 I blow the into the wooded area I have around my property. I rake as little as little as possible. Toughest part I have is wind and my property having a slope of about 8’ that I have from the street to the tree line that I have to blow the leaves up to.

moneypitmike Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 My task for next weekend is to get the leaves out of the shrubbery (the branches themselves, not the ground around them). I think it'll be a pain in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunafish Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Put the leaves to work for you. Make them a part of a sheet mulching project (for spring gardening) or top your freshly planted garlic with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever had ti bag leaves , I would lose it. Can’t think of a worse chore . Bagging leaves is up there on top 5 worst chores you can possibly do. Blow or rake into the woods all day long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to work one morning and when I get home my leaves are raked, perennials are cut, beds are raked shrubs are trimmed, grass gets a last mow and string trim, and I have a bourbon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too know, I can make more money working on Saturday than I save paying for the kids to clean up. I help the economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know CON does that up here. I just wait it out as long as I can and let the wind blow them to the edges of the yard. Then I get out there before the first snow or late season wet stretch and finish them off with the blowing. Then I mow everything short and just mulch in the few stragglers leftover. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Combination of blowing into the woods and mulching with the mower for me. If I had to bag then I wouldn’t clean them up at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Got my bro-in-law to send me a pic as he was out today with the plow. Those oaks are still loaded too, what a nightmare. I mulch mow as much as I can then into the woods the rest go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 The relentless breezes in Randolph blow 90% of the leaves into the woods. It's really something. There are just a handful that get trapped at the front of the house. No gutters here either... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be more frequent than that for the region. For you to be very close to a quake like that probably similar to those numbers. This was the 4th quake or so that I've felt. Each one had a similar feeling and sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a very distinct sound and feel. We felt a tiny bit down this way from the one in Maine in 2012. This was obviously much closer to us, so felt much stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILL N OF PIKE Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Nobody has mentioned the gigantic COVID vaccine news of Pfizer saying they have 90% efficiacy. That is game changer. They are going for Emergency use ASAP One fly in ointment is that the board reviewing data so favorably is Pfizers own Board , not the independent advisory board the Fda uses.
