[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who uses or hires someone else to use a leaf blower on their property is a lazy, wasteful, garbage human.[/quote] How much property do you have?[/quote] Not enough that I can’t maintain it with a rake and good old-fashioned work ethic. If you feel the need to use a leaf blower you either bit off more than you could chew or should figure out a different landscaping plan. [/quote] So either I rake it all myself or pay landscapers to rake, but do not allow a leaf blower to be used either way, or else I'm lazy, wasteful, garbage human. What is your complaint - the noise?[/quote] Yes, the noise is the number one complaint, followed by the outlandish and utterly pointless waste of gas or electricity.[/quote] Pssst....we don't care.[/quote] Yeah, no sh!t. That’s why I said you’re a garbage human.[/quote] Hey, I'm the pp you called garbage human, not this poster. I asked if it was the noise that bothered you. I'm a lazy, wasteful, garbage human being because my yardwork noise disturbs your peace. OK. I only blow the leaves 2-3 times in the fall. I mulch grass clippings. Now there are many neighbors who use their blowers all summer and fall. Are they more garbage-y or are we all equal garbage because of any blower usage.[/quote] Listen, it’s not too late for you. Those 2-3 times a year you blow the leaves? Just… stop doing that. [/quote] It's too late. I'm firmly on the garbage continuum, because we have many oak trees and those S.O.B. leaves don't break down easily or thoroughly. I raked them all for years, and am choosing to no longer do that.[/quote] So pay some kids to rake them, you lazy cheapskate.[/quote] Point me to the crew of tweens or teens who wants to rake half an acre of oak leaves every 1-2 weeks. Also please advise a suggested wage for them. Thanks.[/quote]
