The maple, birch, and sweetgum in the front yard all drop ****loads of

Doug fir and coastal redwood drop all sorts of crap in the back yard,
too. Leaf detritus are a pain, but the main reason I'm taking out the
trees: I don't want tons of danger hanging over my roof at night.


Maybe build one of these:

My initial step is modifying the old leaf collection system to the new
mower. If that doesn't work as well as I want, I'll add a sucker to
it.
