Re: Raking
People that burn leaves irritate me more than actually raking, I prefer to use the lawnmower to rake.

Re: Raking
I see my neighbors raking.
I don't rake.
I blow the leaves that get piled up against my garage out into the street for the street cleaning to deal with.
I may learn some lesson about not raking someday. But not yet.

I don't blow all my leaves. just the ones that pile up against my garage. They don't land in a raked yard...why is it bad?

and then i woke up this morning to see that all of the leaves that my neighbor blew
out into the street were now in my front yard and my driveway.. that's messed up..
but if yours aren't doing that.. i wouldn't worry about it.. i don't care if my neighbors
don't rake.. but i do care when all of the leaves that are in their yard end up in my
yard.. maybe i'm just getting old.. i don't know..

It's bad on my street because:
a.) I have on-street parking, and I have to step across these soaked, decomposing leaves each time I get in and out of my truck
2.) The city doesn't sweep my street, for unknown reasons
III.) I don't really have a third reason. But I'll repeat that it sucks to walk across nasty leaves every day. I take care of the ones in front of my house each weekend, but the ones from down the street just blow in front of it by the next weekend.

Re: Raking
My Dad lives in Overland and one of his neighbors came over to watch the Mizzou game and was telling us about how his neighbor called the city on him because of his leaves and he got issued a letter requesting he rake his lawn in a week or be fined.
I drove past his house heading home and didn't see enough leaves to merit a fine. Personally, I thought he had a good amount for mulch. I don't get it...
