Leaf Raking Hints

October 1975

Wet leaves adhere to each other making them easier to rake. Rake after a light rain or turn on your sprinkler for a few minutes. Instead of using plastic bags buy plastic paint drop cloths. Weight down the corners with large rocks or bricks, rake the leaves into a pile in the middle, gather up the corners and you’re done!
