(ET) Mulch-envy

[Bill Alburty <willaim kc rr com>]

Thank you both for the mulching advice. But I have mulch-envy for my 
neighbor's ICE Toro ZTR which sprays out very small sand size particles 
and dust. That output I think will actually help the lawn as fertilizer. 
My ET output is, at best, 1/2 inch pieces of leaves. In the case of pin 
oak leaves, they seem to have a long lasting leathery quality and are 
slow to decompose. I think they actually degrade the lawn by sticking to 
bare places and making over-seeding ineffective. The ET is especially 
bad with deep leaves also as it pushes big piles ahead of itself. I 
think it can be better than this.
