Question
Hi Greg,

I have lots of ornamental bark on which have fallen lots of leaves from my neighbour's trees. How do I simply remove the leaves without picking up the bark at the same time? Any simple tips?

Cheers.
Rob

Answer
Hello Rob

There is really no easy way to do this. I have the same situation. If the Leaves are dry, you can just take a Leaf Blower and slowly do this task. If the Leaves are wet, there is really no way I know of to simply take care of this.

About the only thing I can suggest is, since the leaves have fallen in a spot where there is nothing growing, you can, if you want, just leave this chore till the spring. By this time the leaves should be well decomposed and dry. They will crumble up and blow away with a Leaf Blower.

I hope this helps
Wish I had a better solution
