    Hello everyone. i'm trying to find a lightweight, 'lady gardener' friendly garden vac. The one we have at present is fine for my husband, but I find it heavy and cumbersome. Has anyone come across a garden vacuum more siuted for female gardeners? All replies really appreciated

    get a leaf rake and rake the leaves in clumps ... take the green bin, tilt it on its side and rake the clumps of leaves into the bin

    or use the lawn mower to pick up the leaves ... if it's too cold to mow the lawn, raise the lawn mower wheels and use the mower to pick up the leaves

    thats what I do ... I have never owned a leaf blower/garden vac, but I'm always skint so have never bothered in investing in one
