Agri-Fab 42in lawn sweeper

Mild it may be but early morning frosts have started to have their effect on the garden.

Lawns are brittle underfoot, car windscreens have a covering of white, leaves tumble a bit more readily in light breezes.

And the clocks go back. There’s no getting away from the dark evenings and chilly days now, but whatever you do, don’t neglect the garden.

Here are some top leaf clearance machines to help you get to grips with the changing seasons.

And we’ve also mentioned some other garden equipment you may find very handy to have in the autumn.

First is a simple lightweight garden tool, the Toro 51594 Ultra Handheld Electric Blower-Vac with a 1450W electric motor.

It will both blow and vac and can change functions just by snapping on a different tube.

It is equally effective on lawns and drives as the working height is adjustable. It is also a useful gadget in the summer as it can be used over tennis courts, around swimming pools and on patios.
