Soon the green, green grass of home will be upon us again. This inspires me to pick your brain about picking up lawn debris.
I mow underneath four acres of oak trees which drop acorns, small branches with leaf-clusters and 1" limbs several feet long. And then there is a half-dozen apple trees. I now avoid driving under those trees during "season" 'cuz I don't have a hard-hat!
I have been considering and researching lawn vacuums of various designs, but none talk about their ability to process anything more than clippings and leaves.
I could just be lazy and let the mower deck chew through this larger stuff. $1000 buys a lot of blades and sharpening instead of gambling on a vac that may not pick up sticks.
Any advice out there on this situation?
P.S. No kids to pick up sticks yet -- just me, myself and I.
