Yep, that's what I do, except I bag it and drop it off for the city to compost the chopped leaves. I prefer chemical fertilizer for the lawn. Why anyone would pay for that obnoxiously loud tool is beyond me.

It's tough for a small-government type to say, but I wish my city would ban leaf blowers.

You are right. It is an obnoxiously loud and annoying tool.
Even the one I own (and haven’t used in years) was not something I purchased myself.
It was given to me as a gift.
I do remember thinking at the time, “What am I supposed to do with this loud worthless piece of crap”, but I was polite to my wife’s relative and thanked her.

You guys must be real strong to be able to push those manual, rotary, mulch mowers, because I know you don't want that obnoxiously loud gas powered, lawn mower to do your little job?

I wish my city would allow me to shoot loud mowered hypocrites.
