anyone from the country?

I live in Rye New Hampshire. Seacoast area of the state. Rye, although a town, doesn't have a "down town" Most house lots are an acre or more and everything is still wood. Yeah the trees look nice but when you house is surrounded by a couple dozen full grown oaks raking the leaves gets old.

I have one of those wonderfull leaf blowers, even chops up the leaves for compost.

I like the lawn sweeper too. We have one that tows behind our tractor. it covers about 48" at a time and sweeps the leaves up into a holding bin. Then you can just dump the leaves wherever you want. I usually dump mine into the empty lot next door.

Yeah I looked at one of those the other day. My father-in-law also has a gas powered blower/vac that will mulch and bag the leaves.

The problem I have is I also get a hell of a lot of acorns. Before I go spend 100 bucks on a blower I need to make sure it's strong enough for acorns.
