Thanks for starting this thread, Eric!
I managed to get some much-needed clean-up done this weekend. With help from my handyman, the leaves are up from the front yard and spread across my new lasagna beds. What a huge stack it made though! I'll probably go out at some point and redistribute across some of my other beds!
Also was able to finally get up all the debris from the back patio area--broken pots, unneeded nursery containers, and other stuff--plus my handyman's leaf blower came in handy for blowing the loose soil and plant debris into the garden beds!
well, ready for winter now I guess...
I left up all the withered plants this year--just in case there are overwintering chrysalises in them!
