I feel weird when I mow the leaves every year—everyone else is spending hours raking, while I take under two hours with the lawn tractor. I keep wondering why everyone doesn't do it, like I'm missing something. I also don't bag grass clippings; it seems silly to remove all of this potential fertilizer from my lawn, only to have to apply artificial fertilizer later on.
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoOne better: I let them blow away. But I live on 80 acres; nearest neighbor half a mile away.
- HeyLaughingBoy 12y agoI never got the point of bagging grass clippings either, seems like useless work. Then again, I don't fertilize my lawn or spray it for weeds either. It's just grass (OK, grass, clover and dandelions in my case), why is everyone so anal about this shit?
- organsnyder 12y agoI don't understand the obsession, either. I keep our lawn watered (no water shortages in Michigan) and mowed. Beyond that, I just let the fittest turf—whether it's regular grass, clover, or dandelions—survive. As long as it's not painful to walk on, it's fine. In fact, I like the variety.
