It has been a good year for leaves here. 50% blew away before I even started. So far I am at 40, 55 gallon bags full of mulched leaves. This is between the 3 yards, Mine and the 2 next to me. Tony next door burnt over half of his before I got the rider out with the bagger. Tom helped with his wife with the transferring the leaves to the bags. I take them to my mulch pile or dump them at my Step moms field. They don't blow back from there, it is 10 miles away. Tried the burning thing for 3 years, and it just takes all day to do half my yard.
