To Rake or Not to Rake? Nah, Just Keep Mowing!
Let’s be real: raking is the worst.
So why bother spending hours wrestling with a rake when you could just hop on the mower and call it a day?
Forget the “to rake or not to rake” debate and consider the lazy person’s guide to fall lawn care—mow until it’s mulched!
Here’s the deal: Instead of raking, bagging, and hauling off leaves, just keep mowing over them. Every time you mow, the blades chop the leaves into tiny pieces that break down naturally, giving your lawn a nice blanket of nutrient-rich mulch. Boom—instant lawn food with zero extra effort.
No Piles, No Problems
Those big leaf piles everyone complains about? Gone. The shredded bits fall into your grass, reducing the chance for mold or pesky critters to take over. It’s like sweeping dust under the rug, but actually good for your yard.
Why It Works
By mulching, you’re letting the leaves do the hard work for you. They keep the soil moist, fertilize your grass, and minimize weeds—all while you enjoy watching from your porch with a hot cup of coffee. Plus, it saves you the hassle of bagging, so you’re free to spend your time on more important things (like not raking).
The Final Verdict?
Ditch the rake, fire up that mower, and keep going until you’ve mulched your leaves into oblivion. The lawn will look good, and you’ll feel even better knowing you got it done without breaking a sweat. Lazy AND Efficient
