That's disingenuous. Raking the yard is a half-day chore for me, that's fairly physically strenuous. Using a leafblower takes like an hour and is really easy- you can stand and point. A leafblower is a non-zero QoL improvement if you have to deal with leaves
- hkt 5y agoReal question: why rake the yard? The road I understand, but what's wrong with just letting the leaves decompose and enrich the soil?
- will4274 5y agoLeaves kill the grass. You want the grass to get light through the fall.
- eulgro 5y agoJust mow the leaves once or twice. Grass gets the light, and the leaves get decomposed more easily.
- anthonypasq 5y agook? how is that an environmentally better option than using a leaf blower?
- basisword 5y agoIt sounds like you have a massive yard. I can’t imagine having to spend more than 20mins raking a standard garden.
