We let a month or so go in the back yard because we tried to keep up with the front yard and make it look perfect... and literally in that time, it got to the point where you could wade about and lose a small child.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-40009977213385687882015-11-15T23:02:47.576-06:002015-11-15T23:02:47.576-06:00it's a problem alright, the only time I've...it's a problem alright, the only time I've ever seen that many fallen oak leaves is here in the Adelaide Hills around the Stirling/Crafers area where there are many oak trees.<br /><br />@Chris; oak trees are deciduous...perhaps you meant evergreens? They also drop leaves, but in smaller quantities and all year round.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-8781243497179412542015-11-15T16:39:34.960-06:002015-11-15T16:39:34.960-06:00OK... that's a shit load of leaves! No wonder...OK... that's a shit load of leaves! No wonder you don't bother picking them up too often. My solution? Chop down the trees and replace with deciduous trees! I know ... you probably LOVE your trees and would never think of chopping them down, whereas I WOULD! *smiles*Chris Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599144462630400401noreply@blogger.com
