It’s nice to watch the leaves go from green to a gorgeous golden brown. But it’s a whole different story when they fall and blanket our gardens. While some leaves can be allowed to organically compost on bare ground, heaps of leaves on patios, walks, and lawns should be removed to prevent health risks (leaf mould) and the creation of potentially hazardous surfaces when the rainy season arrives.
Are leaf blowers the best way to get rid of Autumn leaves?
Using a rake or brush can work wonders, depending on your gardens size and the quantity of leaves that have fallen. Vacuums and leaf blowers are excellent options for bigger places where leaves have gathered in tight spots, around furniture or pots, and to make this work more quicker and easier.
Leaf blowers are helpful all year round, not only in the autumn. They make cleanup after trimming trees and hedges and grass clippings from lawn mowing much easier.
