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.
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 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.
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
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.
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!
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 ❤🎉😊
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!!❤
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.
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!
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 😄
Dougo you can pile up the rocks, that´s how they built graveyards here in the stoneage. Trees are very nice, but leaves are a pain in the but every year!
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?. 🎉😊
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.
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
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!!
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!
Congratulations on becoming a grandma and grandpa that is so awesome God is blessing you tremendously

🙌 thank you so much ☺️
@amysblessings i have followed yours and chetts channel from day one and plan on continuing till the lord calls me home I am from central illinois
2:49, It made me jump, LOL.
When I was editing I jumped too and I knew it was coming. 🙃
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?!
@@amysblessings Dougo is going to turn into a big softie when that little girl arrives
Congratulations grandpa and grandma! Looking forward to those videos with baby! Prayers with you!
The quickest way to settle this Dougo is saying "yes dear" works everytime
Mine has a mulcher on it , but I still grind them first :)
Congratulations on the new addition to the family, grandma and grandpa
Congrats on grand child. Amy dougo needs some bib overalls now😊
That sweeper is 1970s technology..
Buffalo Turbines pull behind fully adjustable leaf blowers are the answer.
Congratulations Grandma Amy and Grandpa Duggo! What wonderful news! Such a blessing!!!
Dougo how many bushels per row!! Haha. Congratulations to you you two being grandparents!!!❤❤
Keep bringing it Amy, no week is complete without a Amy and Dougo buzz.
4 wheel steering mower wow .
The rocks is an old age story like the dreaded treadmill. The wife needs it but it never seems to work out 😂
Cogratulations on the obtainment of Dougo's new Leaf Collector, hopefully it lasts (not like the diesel engines lately) and works well.
Congratulations on the upcoming grandbaby! You both will be awesome!
If we have known how much fun grandkids were, we would have had them first!
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.
Just saw the big announcement on Larson farms what a blessing
Congratulations to the both of you on becoming grandparents and to Uncle Stone
Stone
Lard was something that the older generation used in cooking all the time. There was no olive oil or vegetable oil in those days.
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 ❤
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.
Congratulations, you two. I heard you're going to be grandparents in March
Thank you so much! We are excited. 😊
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.
Reminds me of a shark with that headlight on😊. Congratulations 🎊.

Sometimes, you do need a more aggressive brush when your leaves are matted to the ground.
Thanks for another one of your wonderful videos Amy and Dougo.

Crackling from rendering lard
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.
Grandma and Grandpa you will be amazing.
I just found this channel. Now we know what Doug does in his spare time 🙂
I remember conservations with my wife about rocks like you two was having. Brought a smile to me. Great video.
Oh, the rocks! :-)
Your such Great Folks love watching, and Congratulations Grandma and Grandpa great news!!

Flair box just like cutting silage!
Looks mighty good mama Larson

So exciting. Thank you!☺️

Congratulations on the new addition to the Larson family. What a lucky baby girl to have great grandparents.
Thank you so much! 💞
Dougo, Amy's a beauty, move the rocks and count your blessings. ;)
Start making your own compost Amy. The leaves would be a great addition to it, and it would help your plants a lot.
Maybe start a compost with some of the leaves out of a white tub or 2 from the farm than U can throw food scraps in it as well
Need to just look the other way and pickup leaves in spring
Thanks I jumped!!!
Me too! 🙃
Field rock YES lol it’s called a love struggle
its leaf lard from pigs and tallow from beef each has its own taste great for making pie crust.
Oh Dougo she's high maintenance 😂🤣😂🤣 great video . I'm sure you could fashion a much bigger box on that sweeper .
I have one of them wife's to dougo rocks rocks
Congratulations on becoming grandparents. We became grandparents in are late 60s.
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 😄
Dougo you can pile up the rocks, that´s how they built graveyards here in the stoneage. Trees are very nice, but leaves are a pain in the but every year!
the crispies when boiling lard are called cracklings, we would run from the bus after school to get some of the cracklings, so good!
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?. 🎉😊
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.

Little jumppy😂
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. 💞
Does an amazing job, and Congratulations on Chet and Jean Marie’s Big News!!
Wonderful big news.
