If you enjoy a tidy garden, autumn may be your least favourite time of year as huge volumes of fallen leaves collect on your beautiful lawn, paths, and driveway. As well as making the garden look messy, there can be issues with allowing leaves to accumulate on the ground as they become wet and start to rot. They can become slip hazards on hard surfaces and allow mould and bacteria to develop. Ideally, you will want to clear them away.

However, not only can this be a back-breaking task (especially if you have a large garden), but it’s also going to be an issue for several weeks as leaves can continue to drop until November.

So, do you accept the burden of clearing them multiple times as part of the chore of autumn gardening, or just leave them and hope for the best? Luckily there is a third way; using a leaf blower to get the job done for you.

Why bother with a leaf blower?

Using a leaf blower takes all the hard work out of the task. It’s faster, it’s easier, and it’s more effective. A leaf blower will direct all the leaves into neat tidy piles that can then be cleared away. However, for some models, their work doesn’t end there. If you really want to save your back and your time, choose a 3-in-1 leaf blower that will see the job through from beginning to end without hardly causing you to break a sweat.

Why the Pro-Kleen 3-in-1 Leaf blower takes leaf blowing to a new level

There are leaf blowers and there are leaf blowers. Some just blow and some will also collect, but if you really want to get the job done well, choose a leaf blower that also mulches. That’s what the Pro-Kleen 3-in-1 Leaf blower does.

The powerful 3kw motor allows you to direct large amounts of leaves from across the entire space into manageable neat piles. The vacuum then collects them, so no having to pick them up by hand (which is both hard work and a dirty job). However, what is really clever is that as it vacuums the leaves up, it simultaneously shreds them, reducing the volume by 10:1.

Why would you want to do this? Well, firstly, it makes them easier to handle (you can fit a lot of finely shredded leaves into the two 35L bags that come with the product), and secondly, you can dispose of them more efficiently. You will soon run out of space in a garden bin clearing up leaves through until November. When you reduce the volume to this degree, what would fill ten bins now just requires one. If you don’t have a garden bin collection, this also makes it much easier to transport them to the recycling centre.

Finally, and this is the real selling point for a gardener, this mulch is now useable in your garden. Spread it on borders and beds to protect plants against frost, help to retain water, protect winter vegetable crops from pests, and restrict weed growth. What started as a source of consternation, becomes a valuable garden asset!

Easy for anyone to use

The Pro-Kleen 3-in-1 Leaf blower is easy to use and requires no skill or strength. It has just two switches: one to turn it on and off and one to select blow or vacuum, so you don’t need to be an experienced power tool user. It is powerful but light, so covering the full area of a large garden is no problem, and it has 6-speed settings so just work through them and decide which is best for the space and the volume of leaves that need to be moved.

If you try it, you will soon wonder why you ever cleared leaves by hand!
