The leaves have been falling off the trees for quite a few weeks, and there seem to be good reasons for buying a leaf blower! We have had ours for well over ten years and it has been well worth the investment.
Our five good reasons for buying a leaf blower are:
- saves time – much quicker than using a rake
- blower does a better job than a rake – it blows all the leaves off the surface, whereas a rake mixes the leaves in, so it is difficult to rake all the leaves up
- simple & easy to use
- blower clears leaves from nooks and crannies, & will tidy up around pots and gate posts
- cheaper & more compliant than a gardener
Leaf blowers come in all shapes and sizes, the one below is on the large side but smaller leaf blowers are less expensive.
Some machines can be used to blow leaves and to shred them.
There are many different sorts of leaf blower to suit different needs, but they are a very useful tool. There are at least five good reasons to buy a leaf blower.
