Mud - shouldn't laugh but ....

Just watching the council/new vision homes gardeners trying to use a leaf blower to clear away the mud on our paths. What a mess and they are still trying an hour later just getting smothered in it, hasn't occured to either of them it isn't clearing its just spreading over them.

Stupid device - just blows dirt to another area and when the wind blows will be back again
A broom or rake will do the job much better

Don't mention leaf blowers to me having cleared all my leaves and those of my immediate neighbours from our open front gardens the boyfriend of another neighbour used a leaf and our gardens were coved again.
No I didn't say anything I bit my tongue and cursed inwardly.

We have a gardener here he blows it all into the bin shed which is used several times a day - out comes the leaves and dirt everytime the door is opened - ridiculous
