A rake only works on grass. But if you have taller bushes and other types of plants it's pretty much impossible with anything else except a leafblower.
Also, good luck raking on the side a small, but steep, hill - you can't even stand on the hill without lots of pain and damaging the surface. But you can use a leafblower from the top.
i.e. just because you have a limited experience in the world, doesn't mean others do too.
- iguy 8y agoDo those need to be leaf-free? I mean I thought the point was lawns, with less labor than a rake. But on land far too steep for lawn, can't you just leave things alone? (I own exactly 2 pot-plants, FWIW.)
- ars 8y agoIt's not too steep for a lawn though. (It's tough to mow, but not impossible.) Plus even if you have flowers and such you don't want lots of leaves there.
- iguy 8y agoHow do you mow lawn on a slope you can't even reach with a rake? Maybe with a goat? :) And, in my limited understanding of horticulture, I thought leaves happened later in the year than flowers. Don't they blow off or turn into fertiliser before spring?
- loudtieblahblah 8y agoyou spend time making a garden, and then tell me if you want leaves blocking the sunlight and suffocating everything you spent time planting.

- quantum_magpie 8y agoYou can rake from the bottom then, downhill. The reach of a rake, foot-to-rake is ~4 meters, that's as far as a leafblower goes too.
