Autumn is well and truly here and with it copious amounts of fallen leaves covering every surface of the garden. So whats the best way to deal with them?

Blowers  are the quickest and easiest solution to clear leaves. Simply blow the leaves into a pile in the corner of the garden or under hedges and bushes to allow them to decompose. The cordless Stihl BGA56 is a fantastic tool for this job. Cordless technology means the BGA56 is a quiet yet powerful machine with more than enough trigger time to clear a domestic garden.

A neater solution is to pick up the leave and shred them. This will leave your garden clear and give you a nice mulch to spread over your flower beds  which will allow the nutrients to be re absorbed into the soil as the mulch decomposes. The idea tool for this task is a Leaf vacuum & shredder such as Stihl’s Sh56 C-E. The SH56 C-E is a petrol powered Leaf vacuum which is more than capable in domestic gardens. The leaves are quickly sucked up and pass through a set of shredding blades as they pass into the shoulder mounted collection bag. The bag can then be quickly ad easily emptied.
