Just a reminder to all those suburban farmers (and those willing to forage

bumper crop of leaf bags is starting to emerge at the end of driveways.
Yep. Been hauling 'em home as fast as I can pitch 'em in the back of the
truck. I try to target yards with predominantly oaks &/or pines, and those
where it looks like they chopped & vaccumed them with the mower. Probably
need to clean out the bed of the truck and slide my old 'cattle racks' in,
so I can haul a bigger load without the bags blowing out on the way home.
Grabbed 4 or 5 bags this morning that I don't know what I'm gonna do with -
feels like they're full of chestnut burs - I sure don't want to put them
anywhere that I'm gonna be walking barefoot!
