Mulch with the mower.  Rake not at all.

That's pretty much the plan, but my mower doesn't mulch worth a damn.

I rake first, but I use my leaves as mulch for other parts of the yard.

You can get a mulching blade, and a.... I don't even know what it is called, but a device that stops up the grass ejection port.  This facilitates the mulching action.

I never rake.
I have a mulching blade.

However, no neighbor can see my lawn, and I decided to quit mowing weeks ago.

My mower has a flap that raises so grass will fly into the bag, but drops when I remove the bag so it can mulch.

There's no grass in my apartment.

"Outside" is only useful to me because it's where I keep my car.  There's no grass there, either.

I think I was in my late 20's when I finally had enough of sharing walls/floors/ceilings with other people.  It is no way to live.

Did the bumps keep startling you as you nervously tried on women's clothing in the mirror, you sissy?

The smell of curry in the hallways.  The roaches coming through the vents from other peoples' nasty apartments.  Competing for the good parking spaces, then having shit vandalized.  Complete lack of private area outside for garden, etc.  Then the noise; the situation most near and dear to me in Memphis was when I was in a 3rd floor apartment, and we had a great, huge balcony off our bedroom.  This means so did our downstairs, right below ours.  And I guess they worked a funny shift because all night, every night it was them on their balcony hanging out with friends, playing country music, drinking.  Exactly, and literally, 14 feet from where I would try to sleep at night.

Fuck... and I can't stress this enough... FUCK.... apartment living.

So you're comparing renting a low-quality apartment in the shitty parts of town with renting a nice private home in the good parts. I could easily turn that around and it'd go the other way. Has, even.

I've been in low-end $400 apartment, and high-end $1100 apartments.  Nothing much changes.  In fact, most of what I was describing came from the $1100 apartment.

Shitty neighbors make shitty neighbors.  Doesn't mean there aren't good ones out there, too.

After seven years in my current apartment, I have yet to hear my neighbors through the walls even once.  From time to time I do hear a loud car in the parking lot (thumping base and/or car alarm) but very rarely and never for more than a few moments.
