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 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.

How many people do you see wearing hearing protection when they are using their gas lawnmower? Zero. That's because sounds lower than 85 dB are not harmful. On that logarithmic scale, a leaf blower's shrill whine is well over 100; nearly as obnoxious as you are.
