Interested in how compost is made? Our handy guide on how to make compostwill help you make beautiful, nutrient-rich compost at home. A superb handheld electric vacuum perfect for clearing leaves from lawns and hard surfaces, the Flymo Scirocco 3000 Electric Garden Vacuum is perfect for urban, residential or built up areas where petrol machinery would be too noisy.

The most basic models in our range are standalone leaf blowers with no leaf-collecting functionality, which nevertheless offer a reliable, no-nonsense alternative to manual clearance work. However, we also sell dual function blower vacs with mesh collection bags so that you can gather leaves as you work; these machines often have a small blade attached to the impeller unit to shred leaves as they are vacuumed, increasing the collection capacity of your machine while producing a fine mulch which is ideal for composting! This ensures a pleasing level of versatility not often associated with leaf blowers. Another important consideration when investing in a leaf blower is the power source, with electrical and petrol powered machines both commonly available. Electric leaf blowers can be further subdivided into two categories; corded and cordless. Corded machines have the advantage of being easy to use as you can simply plug them in and go, though they are only really suitable for use in smaller gardens due to requiring access to a power outlet. Cordless machines, meanwhile, offer the same clean running and powerful performance as corded machines but with added portability, though the run time available from their rechargeable batteries means that they may struggle with heavier workloads. How to avoid: Empty the bag regularly – a heavy bag will put more pressure on the attachment. Try to keep the bag clean, as it can get clogged with dust and soil. It's also best to collect leaves on a dry day, as wet leaves makes the bag very heavy.Replace the spark plug. Spark plugs can easily become damaged or worn. When this happens, it’s likely that the leaf blower won’t start up. There's a number of reasons why your leaf blower might be failing to start up, and it typically depends on what fuel your models uses – petrol, electricity or battery. 1. Old fuel left in your petrol leaf blower

Why not invest in a garden shredderas well? One of these will make short work of bulky garden waste like branch cuttings, crushing it down into more manageable chippings or mulch.How to avoid: If you use your leaf blower a lot, try to replace the spark plug at the start of each season. Many leaf blower vacuums have either a twist attachment or clips to keep the collection bag in place. In a Which? member survey, around one in six respondents reported having issues with a broken bag attachment. Remove the old fuel and refill with a fresh batch. Fuel does not age well, and can start to deteriorate within just 30 days. If it’s too stale, it won’t allow the machine to start properly.
