Tell me about leaf blowers

Would anyone like to offset their leaf clearing activities?

In return for money I can supply you with a certificate that I won’t be clearing leaves in some of the many, many hectares of woodland that I look after.

This is how I clear my conscience of the 50 square metres I like to keep clear of leaves in my garden (mower on high, leaf litter onto the raised bed).

I’ve a big AEG electric blower. It has a “turbo” button that makes it go extra fast… which reminds me, I need to get some roller skates.

The deck and front path and rooves get covered in them all year round (eucalypts seem to drop leaves constantly) and they won’t decompose there. Well they’ll probably wreck the rooves.

It’s marginally easier than using a big broom in all honesty.

We have a conservation covenant on most of the rest of the six acres. Apart from the driveway it’s pretty much all native flora left to its own devices.

Keep it coming, this is gold!

That’s dead leaves for you, i guess.
