After many weeks of continuous leaf dropping and cleaning, I have finally won the battle against the trees for this season at least. This year I added a new tool to my ho-hum manual rake. A Husqvarna 125BVX leaf blower. (insert manly grunt here)
I picked this tool up from Superior Power Equipment in Manch-Vegas. A great local store I found via Google after my local Lowes did not have the model I wanted in stock. Lowes could have special ordered it, but it would have arrived 3-4 weeks after I needed it! Through the power of the iPhone I was able to find Superior Power Equipment while I finished up shopping at Lowes. 5 Minutes later I confirmed Superior Power Equipment had one, and told them I would be there momentarily to pick it up.
Superior Power Equipment had great customer service. They filled the leaf blower up with gas/oil and ran it to make sure everything was up to snuff before I left their store. They even gave me a training session on the thing. I would definitely return in the future to buy another item or have something serviced.
The leaves did not stand a chance with my new weapon! I have a significant number of trees at the homestead that for whatever reason took a wicked long time to completely drop this year. I am sure the unseasonal weather we have had made the process take even longer.
This afternoon I topped off my two compost bins with the last round of leaves and blew the rest into the woods. Victory is mine!
