What's the easiest way to rake and bag up leaves in the fall?

Answer 1

Get an old blanket and rake(or leaf blower) the leaves on it. Then have someone help you dump the leaves into a bag.

Or get a lawn mower that will bag it for you

Answer 2

I had several large oak trees. Ist remove large twigs by hand, then I mowed slowly through the leaves with a bag attached every 4-5 days in the fall and used the mixture of finely ground leaves and grass clippings as mulch in the flower beds. I only raked late in the season once or twice to tidy up after the grass stopped growing.

Answer 3

The easiest way is to set your mower on the highest setting and mow the leaves up into the grass catching bag. Then empty the bag into a leaf bag. It chops the leaves so you don't use as many bags and vacuums the lawn at the same time. Works great for me and I have a huge oak and several full size maples in my yard.

BTW, my grass does fine with this, just cut it short before the snow.

Answer 4

My father and I used to mow them into rows, then rake them onto an old bedsheet or blanket. From there, dump the sheet into a lined trash can. It's a lot quicker than raking the whole yard.

Answer 5

Sorry but the only way I know is to rake them up and put them in a bag with your hands. Hope you don't have too many....really

Answer 6

This is a cool way - although unconventional. Ok, this is

what you do. Get a big tarp and rake the leaves into the

tarp. Gather it up, put it in your trunk. Go to a big woodsy

area and dump it out. This saves the landfills from getting them

and it's free!!!!!

Answer 7

I use a big broom to get most of it, and then a rake.

Answer 8

I am not sure there is a easy way, but if the area is big, I would suggest you invest in a mechanical garden vacuum, they work well.
