Proper leaf-pile etiquette:
Just don't pile da leaves around a fire hydrant.

Hey Paul where's the rake? Using a blower is cheating. I hated raking leaves when I was a kid. We had elm trees. My father would tell me to rake the front yard when I got home from school. So I'd rake. When he got home from work he would want to know why I hadn't raked the yard. Good thing my mother was there to vouch for me.

Try using a 3500 psi pressure washer - I can blast my oak leaves 25 feet into my neighbors yard with mine

I just sharpen my blades, set the mower on mulch and do a couple of laps while drinking a beer! Been mulching in place on our property since the first year we bagged 50 bags of leaves.... never again!
