As soon as the Government announces that more of the country is suffering a drought, the heavens open and the wind picks up speed.
But as the new growth is bursting on the trees and shrubs parts of the garden can look a little scruffy and a tidy up is in order.
You may normally associate such machines with the autumn but they can save loads of work with a brush and rake at this time of the year.
And not only will it give the lawn a Spring clean but it will also clean up areas around swimming pools, inside barns and garden paths.
Rotating brushes sweep debris like small twigs and general debris into a collector at the rear of the machine. The operating height can be adjusted and large wheels make it easy to push along.
The collector is simply detached and the debris deposited on the compost heap.
Normally you would expect to pay £149.95 for such a machine but we have it on offer for £89.95 with free next working day delivery and a one year warranty.
