The late autumnal warmth seemed to have encouraged trees to hang on to their foliage for a little, but the fall has really gained pace over the last week or so.
Flower beds and lawns are now covered with leaves and the ash and oaks have not really started to shed fully yet.
Warrior shredder vac blower
We stock a huge range of vacs and shredders – see our site – but here are a couple you ought to put on your shortlist.
The Warrior EB260V Petrol Shredder-Vac & Leaf Blower is a real value for money machine, blowing leaves into a pile, sucking them up and shredding them into a large collection bag.
Perfect if you have a fairly large area to keep leaf-free, the Warrior at £119.95 is £45 off the manufacturer’s recommended price and is powered by a powerful 2-stroke engine.
It blasts air at 60 metres per second to pile leaves up and then sucks them back up through strong metal shredding blades.
The blades are strong enough to deal with pine cones and twigs which some models can’t handle.
Easy to start and easy to use this is an ideal machine for those of you with medium sized gardens to keep leaf and twig free.
And again if you have a fairly large garden, you might want to consider a stronger and more powerful machines often used by professional gardeners.
