My yard has quite a few trees in it, and around this time of year, it gets covered with fallen leaves. So this past Saturday (Nov. 5), my brother Allen and I decided to see how big of a leaf pile we could create. Using only 2 rakes, and one large tarp, we spent about 6 hours building a very big leaf pile. We only raked about half the yard, and two days later the yard looks like we never raked at all. (Except for the pile of leaves killing the grass in the middle of the yard.) Here’s how the project went.
Our front yard before we started rakiing!
Our rakes. The one on the right has got to be an antique.
After 30 minutes of raking we have our first pile.
Allen jumps in the first pile.
After 2.5 hours we have 4 piles.
Allen starts raking our fifth pile.
After 4 hours of raking we combined our five piles into one large pile.
Now comes the fun!!! This is me diving into the pile!
Allen jumps from the rock! Watch it here.
I do the same!
I do a front flip into the pile. Watch it here.
Allen is in there somewhere!
Our final pile. Notice all the unraked leaves in the background.
We still have plenty of leaves left to rake. And there are many more on
the trees. Maybe when our soreness wears off we can make an even larger
pile. We still have to find a place to put all the leaves we raked up, so
they don’t kill the grass.
