We did 10 bags last week and the yard looks like we didn't even touch it! I'm just curious.....

No, not yet. Our trees seem to leaf out late and fall off late too. We live by
Lake Erie and the water seems to slow our seasons down a bit. We have
had a good summer and there are tons of leaves on the trees here so I
know I will be raking lots. Make sure you mulch those leaves. Run over
them with your lawn mower until they reduce in bulk and then put them
on your gardens. You could also just put them back under the trees they
fell from. You could be Mother Nature's helper and make sure those trees
get enough nutrition to keep growing.

I'm in Okla, real dry summer so trees started losing leaves early. Just rake away from foundation about 6 inches and leave the rest to insulate grass and plants from winter frost. Then in the Spring mow and let the grass catcher do the work!

I never rake... I simply go over the yard with a bagger mower. AND I like to leave some clippings and leaves on the grass for as they compost, they feed the lawn.

you won't be able to lead them to rake. era. take care of you backyard, your way. And make peace with the actual shown actuality that they don't rake theirs. I, for my section, not in any respect, ever rake my backyard. mom nature made the leaves fall, and that is the position they belong. that's good for the grass and soil, they take in the food from the leaves. I do %. up any twigs or branches, yet that's about it. I truly have a desirable eco-friendly backyard, wonderful rose bush flower beds.( I do throw some leaves around the roses for warm temperature and nutrition.) So difficulty about your self, and leave your acquaintances to themselves. in the journey that they wanna rake, they are going to. If no longer, you won't be able to lead them to.

Welcome to fall!! Yes the leaves are turning that beautiful fall color and falling from the trees all over the place. One of the problems with having trees. But it all worth it to enjoy their beauty the rest of the time, I don't rake the leaves until after winter. I let them gather around the bottoms of my plants and on the yard to protect them against the winter frost.
