Does anyone know how to clean up fallen leaves without a rake?
The only way is to soak them in soapy water, Dish detergent will be fine. Put a pail or 2 of the dirty leaves in a tub of the the soap and water mixture and simply agitate with your hands or a fallen stick.
Remove the leaves and rinse gently. Return them to thier place on the property. Continue process until you have cleaned all of your fallen leaves. I would consider gathering them up and discarding them rather than a yearly cleaning. Good Luck!

oh yeah! Discovered this a couple of years ago. A lawn sweeper!
Best thing since sliced bread. Bought mine at Lowes Hardward store. Cost under $100. Hooks on behind riding mower and literally sweeps them up. You then pull a cord to dump 'em. Never even have to get off the mower to dump them.
I use mine more for sweeping up grass cuttings than leaves - but an excellent item & well worth the money!
I used to use a leaf blower too ... but this is sooooo much better!

you could probably get a rake for about $10.Raking the leaves up would make your yard look better then any other method.Mulching the leaves up with a lawn mower however would add more nutrients to your yard.If you had a blower then you could just blow them in to your neighbors yard(kidding).Good luck

Mow the lawn, use a lawn vacuum (rental yard), or use a blower. Some blowers have a reversing function to pick up the leaves.

i recommend you look up the Mexican-American leaf blowers association...they can provide you a list of members that will use a rake less method of getting leaves off

Why no rake?
The only other way I know of is a leaf blower.

I just mow them with my lawn mower over and over til they are tiny pieces...they add nutrients to the soil for next year! You may have to wear a dust mask if leaves are really dry.

Get either a gas or electric powered leaf blower.
