I'd prefer not to have to bag all the sweet gumballs at the expense of bagging my already super thin grass clippings. Not sure if I should just still keep mulching everything, because those balls are incredibly annoying to deal with in our backyard.

They all fall on my driveway.
I first started picking them up with a poop scooper.

Following year I used a shop vac .

Very quick and easy

I cut down my Sweet Gum tree with the quickness when I moved into my house. Nasty trees.

I had a big Sweet Gum at the house in BR. I would rake them up and fill up 2 big trash bags each time. Had to do this twice each year.

I'll take them after I send you directions on spelling.

Again, I would rather not have to rake my entire back yard because of several sweet gum trees inconveniencing me. Every weekend.

Those things will destroy a mower blade.

The reason why I took out all 4 gumball trees on my land during lot prep.
