timinkc03-19-2004, 10:47 PMi have lots more experience with sweet gum balls than i would like to have...the problem is a blower just pushes them further downinto the turf alot of times...if its not too big an area i suggest raking (ugh) if its big just use a blower (a strong one), and do the best you can...no way to do it with a mower though.
