Let's start over......
I used to rake and bag the leaves. One year, I filled 75 of the large leaf bags. Now, I try to stay up with them as they fall and mulch them.

It was preached that the mulching would smother the St Augustine root system and cause disease and mold. I finally tried it and have never had a problem. Still rake up a bunch from the beds and pathways, but probably a third of what I used to do.

Yep, I understand. Especially maintenance people. At the rent house, our landlord is a cousin, so it's not a big deal. It's nice to tell him when something is broke and not worry about it.
