If you have a lot of pine trees on your property, you know that pine needles can be a pain to clean up. Raking them can be time-consuming and back-breaking work. But there are a few things you can do to make the job easier.
First, try to rake when the needles are dry. Wet needles are heavier and will clump together, making them harder to rake up.
Second, use a grass catcher on your rake. This will help to collect the needles and keep them from blowing away in the wind.
Finally, don't wait too long to rake up the needles. The longer they sit on the ground, the harder they will be to remove. So try to do it at least once a week during the fall and winter months.
With these tips in mind, raking up pine needles doesn't have to be such a chore!
