    can anyone recommend a good blow/vac/shedder to help me get rid of all the leaves in my garden, there is a fair amount of them multipling in size on a daily basis, was thinking electric in around the €100 mark, cheers

    No faith in the Vac/Shedder ... had one suck up some pebbles and "blow up" ... prefer a Blower... ok you end up picking up the leaves at the end, but gives me an excuse to get dirty!!!
    I have a Ryobi Can't Remember off hand exact Model and it's secondhand (Hand me down) Can't fault it for its Age and massive Size, it does the Job year after year with no fault !

    Why not bag them and mix them into your soil and let them rot in.

    Makes for free compost and very good soil for growing.

    We just did this with bags of dead leaves and bags of seaweed.:)

    I don't think they can cause any harm to the dog, unless the ground has recently been sprayed.

    On Gardeners world on BBC they are covering leaves and how to make leaf mulch.
