I've never before considered the green footprint or actually, lack of one, that the blower represents. I thought about it awhile, and glanced over and saw my neighbors sitting on their porch enjoying the beautiful afternoon sun and I thought, I bet they'll go right inside if I fire that thing up .... so anyway I didn't use it and raked leaves for a couple of hours and only cleaned up about a quarter of the area I needed to do. But I enjoyed the exercise and my neighbors enjoyed the afternoon sun. I dunno now, I'd love to have the leaves all done, but wonder if I want to use the electricity and destroy all ability to hear anything ... just a thought you sparked in my mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20316869.post-48003075293494607912007-11-19T12:47:00.000-05:002007-11-19T12:47:00.000-05:00And who is to say where the harvest will stop...es...And who is to say where the harvest will stop...especially if those leaves are composted or used for mulch. I never throw any of mine away.<BR/><BR/>May I admit, that I am one of those gardeners who will 'bend over backwards' not to make noise when working out in the yard? I even use sissors to trim the grass along the fence and around some rocks, just to avoid hearing an edger. It just seems for favorable to the dear residents of our neighborhood - the birds. They don't like abrubt noise.Bonitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634611054014237422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20316869.post-5445062391668754132007-11-19T12:15:00.000-05:002007-11-19T12:15:00.000-05:00Wow, that's a whole lotta leaves, Cathy!

Even though my trees have finally gotten big enough to drop a fair number of leaves, the fact that I'm on top of a windy hill means most of those leaves are blown away by Mother Nature.

So many trees on the banks, so many leaves in the yard.
