We have eucalyptus trees out back, so leaves and pods are a constant battle for us. I've finally had to take the approach that it's just never going to be perfet back there without a lot of work, so we go with the flow out there instead. The area I seeded is about 300 sq ft, so keeping that raked won't be such a chore.
Do you have any neighborhood kids that could help out? Our neighbor's boy, while he was in high school, used to do the raking for the neighbors on the other side of our house.
