One of my least favorite jobs of lawn cleanup in the springtime is raking up the needles and small branches from under the 27 cedar trees we have...if I wait until the ground in hard enough then the debris has begun to smother the grass...this pictures show one of the 9 loader bucketfulls I hauled back last week, I am starting a new burn pile 40 feet back from the one I burnt in January. Going to clean the old pile up, haul the ashes away for fill, use a magnet to remove the nails, and rake out all the solid debris and dump it on the new pile. Will not be much fun.
