Yeah. I have seen that several times over the years and there is so
much truth to it. I see that the annual 'what to use to bag leaves'
threads have started over alt.home.repair. Even after they have been
told the simple way is to mow/mulch em, they still go on about buying
fancy equipment to vacuum them up.

What do you do when there is a 3 foot layer of leaves?

Blow 'em up into a big pile. Jump and play in the pile, recalling one's youth. Then
set 'em afire and enjoy the warmth and the lovely odor. Burning leaves are one of my
favorite smells, a warm reminder that fall is here at last.

a good hot quick burning fire is not the problem. it's the
attempt at burning wet leaves and the one creating a smoldering
smoke screen blanking the neighborhood who creates the smell of
an undesirable mess.

If I try to burn them, that's exactly what happens.

Then wait for the police or state EPA to show up.

Burning leaves is illegal in lots of places these days.
