Bring a rake! LOL! When Butch and I bought this house it was in June and we had a small open house in the fall to celebrate our first anniversary and the new house. We actually put the "bring a rake" as a joke on the invitation because we were not prepared for the amount of leaves. After the first year of raking we invested in a walk behind chipper vac and even though we only use it for a couple of weeks in the fall, it is our favorite piece of equipment. The newest one has a hose attachment so we can get in around the foundation and the shrubs. We compost all of the leaves and it makes wonderful stuff. We never use any kind of fertilizer in our beds, but plant in leaf mould and use it as mulch sometimes as well.
