I would like to buy a petrol leaf blower for use around the house. It would
not be used a great deal, mainly for blowing grass clippings off the the
paths after mowing, and a few leaves blown in by the wind. I do have an
electric blower which needs a long extension cord, and therefore is not
really practical for the front yard.

Any recommendations appreciated.
TIA
Andy

I hate it when people blow their crap out onto the road. It's not like
councils send their road cleaners out to much. No wonder people end up with
everyone elses weeds in their lawn. Is no better than littering. I have a
blower but like to get things in a corner so it can be picked up. On
occassion to blow leaves off lawns into garden beds at least you end up with
decent leaf litter.

If you use a besom broom it should be used flat against the ground not
upright
as most people think.

It is fast, cheap, quiet, environmentally friendly and saves a trip down
to the
gym.

It is also good for getting worm casts off a lawn.
