today I removed the bags off the DC, pulled the DC up the stairs, put on
the old 30 micron bags and a hose and sucked leaves up.
Then I found out I had to remove the thein internal baffle...
But overall, it did a pretty good job of mulching the leaves. Not great,
but a pretty good reduction. I was a pain to keep emptying the bags, but
next time I might use a plastic back on the bottom and see how it goes.
I think I got a 3 to 1 reduction, maybe more.

Wouldn't it be easier to just rake them into your neighbor's yard and
set them on fire? ;-)

Would love to, after their dog attacked mine for the 3rd time, they
bought a new car then 2 weeks later declared bankruptcy.
They never rake their leaves, so most of what I get is their leaves...
But that wouldn't be real neighborly of me... :-p
