We are obviously now in peak leaf falling season, which not only makes gardens look untidy but can starve your grass of sunlight (which can hinder growth or even kill it) and become a slip hazard if they’re left to get wet and slimy in the rain.

Clearing them up regularly over this autumn period is therefore quite important but it can be back-breaking work with a rake or broom. So, how can you keep your garden clear without all the manual labour? The answer is a leaf blower.

Why use a leaf blower?

There are a number of benefits to using a leaf blower. As we’ve already said, collecting leaves up manually is hard work. A leaf blower is a much less labour intensive method of clearing leaves as it’s faster and doesn’t require lots of bending down. It’s also kinder on the grass because you don’t  

Why use a MYLEK 4-in-1 leaf blower?

Leaf blowers are indispensable bits of kit for the garden but not all leaf blowers are created equal! The MYLEK 4-in-1 leaf blower has, yes you’ve guessed it, 4 really useful functions: a blower, a vacuum, a rake, and a mulcher.

• Blower: direct leaves to wherever you want them to go. This lets you pile them up for easy collection – if you collect leaves to compost for leaf mould, this is really convenient!
• Rake: the rake nozzle helps to guide the leaves into the vacuum, making the whole process even more efficient.
• Vacuum: no need to bend over, even to clear the leaves that you have piled up, with the blower when you have a vacuum to suck them directly into the collection bag.
• Mulcher: break the leaves down into fine mulch so you can compact more of them into a single bag.

Why mulch?

One of the key advantages of this leaf blower is the mulcher function. Mulching breaks the leaves down into smaller particles. This allows them to be densely compacted meaning they take up less room in the collection bag (so you can fit more in) as well as the composter or garden bin.

The mulching rate on this unit is 10:1, meaning it can fit ten bags worth of leaves into a single bag. Expressed in these terms, you can see why this is a great feature.

Other great reasons to buy this leaf blower

The benefits don’t stop there. This unit is both compact and lightweight so it’s really portable and easy to move around the garden with it. It has a 10-metre power cord, so you have plenty of freedom to move around large gardens. It also has six speeds, allowing you to tailor the setting to everything from a few small leaves to larger twigs and garden debris. It even comes with two 35 litre collection bags, so at a mulching rate of 10:1, that’s a lot of leaves you can collect before you even have to empty it! For added peace of mind, it comes with several safety features, including an overheat protection system.

Once you use the MYLEK 4-in-1 leaf blower, you will wonder how you ever cleared the garden without it.
