Our park ranger is a nice guy and I help him out from time to time, and we got talking about how leafblowers suck.
He said that yes they're loud, but they are remarkably efficient at moving leaves into a nice pile, missing nothing
In my experience, they tend to blow, even the good ones.
if your leafblower suck, there's a switch for that. read the fucking manual before complaining
Forgot about this joke.
The "missing nothing" part is problematic. Many creatures rely on leaves to survive or reproduce. Fireflies are a common example. Their population has been decimated by the complete removal of leaves as standard practice
I cannot understand why people are so intent on removing every leaf from their yard
they literally do the opposite u idot 😤😡
no mebe u r 🫵
Yep, not even all the ecosystems that were nearly settling their lives there. Rakes are more gentle
TIL wind kills bugs
Unlike humans, who tolerate tornadoes blowing through their neighborhood without missing a beat.
The problem is also with the fact that when there's no leaves, bugs and other small animals have nowhere to stay over the winter or lay their eggs.
Sure, but a rake is as bad.
