I have a battery-powered leaf blower. I mostly use it to clear the leaves from my gravel driveway. That's OK. We all have technical devices that were made by innovative industries that nobody ever needed before a clever engineer invented them. No offense was meant. Like leaves in the wind, we're on the road to nowhere anyway. A battery powered leaf blower more or less doesn't make a huge difference.  @MEGA @Jonstewartmill @dosch My neighbors use them simply for something to do. They blow leaves around the street. It's dumb and annoying, probably pathological too.  @dosch @dosch I am so excited to rake up all the leaves and use on my garden beds this year. I discovered it too late last year. I do use the leaf vacuum to suck them up, mulch them a bit, and then they are easy to dump in the spots. I might even steal my neighbors' leaf piles - we have limited trees. @dosch #green #autumn #fall #leaves #environment #compost #homeowners @dosch @so_treu one of the things i absolutely loved about stuttgart while there ... managed to convince the hubster to adopt that practice when we came back. the one bad thing that happened as a result: a pile in our backyard became home to a poisonous snake (i forget which one hubster said it was) and our husky pupper found it. luckily she wasn't bitten but i certainly have not been near there since. 🤭  @dosch When I was a kid, we never bagged our leaves. *Just leave them there!* Yeah, we'd sweep the leaves from the driveway into the yard. Sweep the leaves from the sidewalk into the yard. But other than that: *just leave them there!* It works just fine. Nature will figure itself out. (Now, I live in an apartment in the city... so... no more yard...) |

Makes sens. Leaf blowers are IMO the stupidest way to turn money into pollution.
