Mike - If you get that land in Maine you won't have to worry about edging and you only blow leaves on your grass, which if you're smart, isn't very much because you left a ton of property as woods. No bagging leaves!!! Just blow them into the woods or water!! And while you're at it, forget bagging the grass clippings, since there are only gavel roads and driveways unless you're really nuts, no need to edge!! Heck you don't even have to plant grass. Most of my lawn was wild field and someone gave me the best advice of "cut it and it will grow" which was true, my best lawn didn't get a single seed placed there and since it's under my leach field, it's doesn't get any chemicals...

Your neighbors won't be able to see your house and the seagulls don't complain about the quality of your landscaping! You can take a break from the normal "suburban yard work drudgery", although you'll be doing different things like hanging the lobster buoys you find floating free on trees, shooting porcupines and tending any paths you might be making around the property...

You do not know how good that sounds to me right now
 
Why do you shoot the porkypines?

everything else sounds wonderful

They selectively dine on and destroy "The Admiral's" favorite trees, poplars. Also the local dog owners applaud and encourage porcupine ethnic cleansing; just about everyone's dogs have had a face full of porcupine quills at least once around here, and since even the smartest dogs don't usually wise up, they're often repeat customers.

Even the most mild-mannered, tree hugging animal lovers put out contracts on that pesky rodent. A friend of ours who just moves insects found inside the house to the outside without harming them called me the other day. "Please come over and shoot the damn porcupine who's destroying my apple trees!! He's there every afternoon around 4:00" Have .410, will travel...
