    I use things that work

    Blowing leaves around instead of removing it, isn’t ideal then.

      Leafblowers are used to collect it into a pile which is then raked/shoveled into a bin. The blower is much faster and less effort than the rake at collecting everything into the pile.

        Everyone I see using them merely uses it to blow the detritus into the street. What you’re saying makes a lot of sense, but people don’t do that

          Yeah, well, you can’t fix stupid.

          Although if there isn’t that much, I suppose letting it dry and break down in the local environment is better than putting it in a landfill. If there’s a lot of it, then at least in cities I’ve lived in, they can and do ticket for putting yard waste or shoveling snow in the street.

      Do you think a leaf BLOWER sucks leaves up or does anything but blow them wherever you point the machine?

      Your thinking of a leaf vacuum which the article is NOT referring too…

      What was the point of your reply, I really don’t get it…
