Close off that mower's discharge chute, add a mulching blade, and then just go over those leaves once. The mower will mulch and drop the leaves and the sweeper will pick them up on the same pass. You'll cut your lawn care time in half. I'm happy for Chet and Jean Marie and am praying for them to have a happy healthy baby. It took a bit for me to get used to being called "Grandpa" but, with my 5th grandchild on the way now (be here about the same time as your new granddaughter), the title has grown on me. I've never understood the "congratulations" part of being a grandparent 'cause I didn't have much to do with the arrival of each grandchild and it seemed to me like "false valor"; but what the hay, enjoy it when you get the opportunity and a hearty "Congratulations!" to you both.
Congrats on the grandbaby! Can't wait to see Dougo riding around with his granddaughter in the future as well as Amy bringing her to the farm for visits! Gonna see ole Dougo wrapped around her pretty little fingers!
Priceless when Dougo jumped like a raccoon when the tray fell over 😅. Congrats on the wonderful news of becoming grandparents it was written in the stars god bless your family ❤
That's right you butcher a hog or cow and cut the fat off and boiled it and saved it in jars or some other container. Then you use it to fry your eggs in it, put some in mashed potatoes and used it for seasoning in cooking. i grew up in Yoakum, Texas on a cattle ranch. We had cows, horses, chickens, ducks, geese, peacocks and other critters. We had 3 big gardens. Now when you go to the store it's called "Organic". Heck, that's all we ate ! I learned to drive a Farmall Cub tractor when I was about 6 years old. I had to stand up to be able to push down on the clutch with my left foot. I still have that cub tractor. I am hoping I will live long enough to have it fully restored. I am now 76 years old. I do keep my faith with Jesus and one day I will see him and all my friends and family that have put their trust in him. "This world is not falling apart but things are falling into place" awaiting his soon coming .
Another channel I follow their using a PTO blower. It may be a good option. You can cut grass however you want then finish by blowing everything into the woods. It will decompose and feed the soil so nothing else to do. It's a thought.
My wife still renders lard and she's only 46 years old. I remember talking to her grandpa, who was born in the 19-oughts, about the lard cooking process. He mentioned something called "cracklings" which is what I think Dougo was talking about when he referred to the solid stuff that was strained off when lard was being made. Grandpa sounded like he really liked to eat the cracklings. He said if he was going to die from something it would be from eating too much cracklings.
CONGRATULATIONS ON BECOMING GRANDPARENTS !! Kids are lucky to have you two to help out. Can't wait for March . Leaf rake does a nice job . What's the price tag $ ______ HAVE A GREAT WEEK , TAKE CARE AND STAY SAFE !!!!
University of Michigan, department of agriculture found that you can safely mow up to 14" of loose leaves into a healthy lawn. It acts as a fertilizer, and gets rid of the leaves. Does take a couple passes going over to get rid of them though. You have to block off the discharge chute on the mower deck too.
It maybe time to invest in composting and built yourselves a set of Compost Bins. This way it takes care of what to do with the leaves and creates mulch and a fertile form of garden soil. It involves worms, so you can become a worm farmer 😄
Congratulations on the news of being brand new grandparents i know she's gonna be very spoiled and loved and the seed of Jesus will be given to her praying for all very healthy and smart baby girl and grow up with a blessed life with God always around her again Congratulations ❤🎉😊
They would render the lard pig fat by melting it and the skin particles would float to the top the would skim those off the top of the boiling lard. Those bits were called crackling in pennsylvania. Not sure what they were called other places. The lard was ladeled into pans that made 1 pound bricks. Cooled and frozen for keeping. The crackling were like crispy bacon
Thank you for sharing your faith openly in the last video! God will bless you for it. Ignore the negative comments.My wife and I watch your videos every Sunday evening. Doug if you would put mulching blades on your mower and go over the lawn a couple of times first before collecting the leafs it would cut down on the pile of leafs collected. Yes, because the leafs are broken up more the sweeper may not pick it all up. But, what is left will be good for the yard and will not be so much that it will choke out the grass. We enjoy your videos!
Thanks for another one of your wonderful videos Amy and Dougo. I thought it made such a great afternoon watching it and sharing time with both of you!!!’ First of all: CONGRATULATIONS on being a future Grandma and Grandpa Larson with the arrival in March 2025 of a wonderful baby girl of Chet’s and Jean’s!!!!!!!!!!! So exciting to hear the news!!!!!! Am so happy for both of you. Know you will be fantastic grandparents!!!!!!!! Very happy news. Congratulations again. That lawn sweeper you are trying out is a dandy. It appears to do a fantastic job on the yard and easy to operate. Nice piece of machinery. You better get one of those Amy and Dougo. That looks like a great meal that Amy has fixed there. Nice looking piece of steak. Enjoy you two. Now I am hungry!!!!!! Oh my. About it I guess. You both take care. Wonderful news about being grandparents. Enjoy. My prayers and blessings to you both. God bless. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Congratulations are in order.Now if this is your first Grandbaby You will have the pleasure of spoiling her. When Chet and Jean tell you don't spoil her tell them your trying to get into Heaven. GOD bless you all.
Your such Great Folks love watching, and Congratulations Grandma and Grandpa great news!! We have 9 grandkids so we are Excited for the both of you! Chet will have her in the combine sooner than you think!!❤
Pork fat, bake in oven and it melts and turns into oil at the bottom of the pan and crackling float to the top. Skim off cracklings and pour oil into small pans. It cools and turns into lard block. We also did this on the farm.
First off congratulations grandpa and grandma!! So the sweeper looks like a good idea.. but they sell ones at farm&fleet or a farm store that are ground driven that do the same.. for less money I’m sure. Not sure if John Deere makes a bagger system for your mower or not but that’s what I have on my no longer sold in the US simplicity mower.. three bags you have to dump.. love you guys!!
OAK LEAVES YES,MAPLE LEAVES NO & FOR THE ROCKS,MY WIFE HAS A HUGE PILE I HAULED OUT BACK BEHIND THE HOUSE THAT'S GOING TO END UP IN THE BACK 40 ON THE SOUTH ENTRANCE OF THE PROPERTY,,,LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lard is from hogs, tallow is from beef. Still use both but then again I’m old.😂 Congrats on the new grand baby! Maybe she can run the leaf picker upper?. 🎉😊
Baby Larson is going to be a wonderful addition. The "shopping trips" thru the car dealer will be replaced by "shopping trips" for baby clothes for the granddaughter! It's going to be wonderful!
Dougo I've lived the rock nightmare, not only once, but twice, take em out she says, then couple years pass, and it was bring them back, they are back in yard. Congrats to you both on the grandbaby news

Congratulations on the new addition to the family, grandma and grandpa
Cogratulations on the obtainment of Dougo's new Leaf Collector, hopefully it lasts (not like the diesel engines lately) and works well.
Ya us men love moving rocks just for fun 😂
I wondered! 🪨😂
How does it feel to be grandparents congratulating you on your grand baby coming
Field rock YES lol it’s called a love struggle

Sometimes, you do need a more aggressive brush when your leaves are matted to the ground.
Keep bringing it Amy, no week is complete without a Amy and Dougo buzz.
Priceless when Dougo jumped like a raccoon when the tray fell over 😅. Congrats on the wonderful news of becoming grandparents it was written in the stars god bless your family ❤
That sweeper is 1970s technology..
Buffalo Turbines pull behind fully adjustable leaf blowers are the answer.

We have a 72 and 60 inch decks with mulching decks on zero turns!! Works great!!
And we mow our hastas and peonies every year
Thanks for the tips.
Oh Dougo you brought those rocks no doubt !!! “Someone may have asked you to but that didn’t matter you put them there. “FACTS “ 😉
Lard was something that the older generation used in cooking all the time. There was no olive oil or vegetable oil in those days.
Congrats on grand child. Amy dougo needs some bib overalls now😊
Crackling from rendering lard
Just seen Chet's video. Yall are gonna be the greatest grandparents. My oldest granddaughters is 20. You don’t know what your missing congratulation.
We boil our lard and strand it and put it let it cool down to warm then put in containers with lid and freeze it. You can bake and cook with it.

If we have known how much fun grandkids were, we would have had them first!
That bin falling out from under the Oven.......LOL made me jump..😂😂😂😂😂 I can see Chet laughing at that.
Chittlins!
I can't wait to see dougo to take his granddaughter on a quad track doing work
He will be sunk. I look forward to seeing the outpouring of love. He will be a puddle. 💞

Thanks for the congrats! We don’t know. So far it’s a demo-test.
I just found this channel. Now we know what Doug does in his spare time 🙂
Grandpa Dougo is going to have to shop for a Mini Martin 2.0 for the newest Larson. He's got some shop cleaning duties to teach 🤣
This is a great idea. Can you imagine the fun things?!

I mulch our leaves sometimes every other 3rd day. We have 4 acres of forest. We live in central Indiana. Tried out ways that works best for us.

I remember conservations with my wife about rocks like you two was having. Brought a smile to me. Great video.
Dougo, Amy's a beauty, move the rocks and count your blessings. ;)
The rocks is an old age story like the dreaded treadmill. The wife needs it but it never seems to work out 😂

Grandma and Grandpa you will be amazing.
You dump the leaves on a tarp and then cover them with another tarp, then you can move them around and when it comes time to burn them you can.
Thanks for another one of your wonderful videos Amy and Dougo.
