Combined with my backpack leaf blower and my cheap ($50) electric blower/mulcher (to mulch the leaves once I finally have everything in a pile), I find this sweeper (which I've had for two years now) to be the absolute best way to clean things up.</p> <p>Before, I used to blow all of my leaves to the back of the house. The pine needles? I just let them sit there as I had no idea on how to get rid of them. Back to the leaves. Because my land has a slight slope to it, I was basically blowing my leaves uphill! It would take about six or seven separate blowings of about four or five hours each to get rid of all of the leaves. Now, I start with my blower and blow any leaves that are in a hard to reach place on to level ground. That's it! As soon as they're in an open area, I leave them there. The key is to not try...</p>... Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:30:38 GMT http://www.mysears.com/Craftsman-42-in-High-Speed-Sweeper-review-14a0 ArmandoColpa 5
