"And they said it’s a wonder he wasn’t dead," she said. "On 22nd Street? He must didn’t know where he was. Nobody has seen this boy before."

You messed with the wrong neighborhood. Let that be a lesson once your brain swelling goes down.

That's a big one, but you must need it with everything electric.

If your electric demand is that high, how big of a solar system do you have on your roof?

The study by Michigan State University states otherwise. https://www.canr.msu.edu/resources/mulch_leaves_into_turf_for_a_smart_lawn

This year I actually raked all my leaves onto the lawn and then used my lawn mower with mulching blade to grind them as small as possible. I have a battery powered mower so it took like 4-5 charges and several passes to grind everything down, but only the big leaves are left. I will do a little more raking and mowing this weekend but I should be all done for the year hopefully. The smaller you cut them the faster they disappear, and they return their nutrients to the soil.

For all my stuff in the back that I normally let sit, I'm thinking of making a chicken wire cage for a mulch pile. I was watching a couple videos where a guy put all his leaves in one and then made sure to wet and toss them to help air get in and aid in bacteria breakdown. He also took a weed Wacker to grind them into smaller pieces to break down faster. Great high nitrogen fertilizer for the garden!

Consider /r/lawncare for some advice too!

Ffs. I just ordered yesterday at a bit over 5 a gallon.

I've had a real one growing up, but now that I'm married I'll be getting a fake one. It's just easier to set up and take down, no need to deal with strapping it to the roof of the car, no need to clean up fallen pine needles or squeeze into a shaky stand. I'll miss the nice smell but not the fire hazard.
