Have some areas I'd like to plant either grass seed around my house and others for possible food plots that have several inches of fallen leaves....what is the easiest way to get rid of it??? Just continuing to blow and rake them away? Burn them? If burning, what is the best way to do that?

Use a dethatcher and a yard sweep to pick them up, burn the leaves. A burn off is really great for the yard. Some fire departments help with this.

Burn or disc/till them in. Discing/tilling them in may be the best option if your soil lacks structure or water holding capacity.

If you elect to burn, there is a ton of good information on the web on how to do it right and safely. Many on state websites. You may want to work with your local fire department depending on the scope of the work.
