Does anyone get fed up of picking up leaf fall in spring ! I wish they ate them CB

No leaves here, they have all been blown onto the neighbours.

Not sure about the leaf situation at the moment. I only see my garden at the weekend......it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I come home!!! If there are many about I am sure the hogs will make use of them x x x. Hugs x x x

I wait until they are all down, before doing anything about leaves. Otherwise you can be out there every day:0)

I have teenage boys whose job it is to brush up or vacuum the leaves each weekend, depending on whether they're wet or dry. The chickens love a big mound of them to kick through and look for bugs.

I always hope we have highish winds and the leaves blow elsewhere:0)

you need to borrow my petrol leaf blower CB!

I actually enjoy sweeping them up. Have a blower but hate the noise and the time it takes to get it out and get it going. Although saying that I do only clear the drive. As an avid composter love the leaf mould.
