Seen it happen. We take it to my Inlaws and open the bags and dump the leaves down the ravine then recycle the bags

Reply Contact Mary, I don't rake the leaves.  I don't even think we own a rake.  They get cut by the lawn mower.  Or walked on.  Or they fly away.  (Can you tell I don't know?)  But, somehow, they are fine.  Of course, we only have snow once every five to ten years.

We have snow and leaves and the same process. I think raking leaves is some kind of conspiracy to make me exercise. I refuse to buy into it.

I saw my husband outside raking leaves and he informed me that he always raked the leaves. I've never seen him doing it before so I just thought we had a leaf fairy and effective breezes.
