    Please suggest a blower that will blow dried brown willow leaves off 10mm gravel without disturbing the gravel?

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I have never used a blower so it could be any blower will do what I want.

    I think you have already answered your own question. :)

    Any blower can do it but it needs the correct manipulation to lift the leaves without the gravel. A quick sweep of the air across the gravel should lift the leaves without the gravel. I use that method to shift the leaves from the flower beds without blowing the soil away, although sometimes a little of it moves.

    Good luck :blue thumb:

      This is why I should definitely wear my glasses when reading. Without my glasses, I thought the title said 'please suggest a bio war'. I thought that's a strange topic for a gardening forum :)

        I've got a cordless bosch blower that works well in this situation. It uses the power4all interchangeable battery used on my strimmer, hedge cutter and some hand tools.
