JSYK, (and you probably do), there exist these plastic covers for
joists. They lay over the top to prevent the rot from trapped water
from the stuck debris.

Excuse me, clarification: They lay over the top of the joist,
running the length of it, and *under* the decking.

No, I didn't know that, thanks. But I'm going to address it from the
"free" and "I have a blower and I want the smaller crap that currently
gets stuck between the entire length of the decking to fall through
instead" perspectives.

...........it will still allow things to fall through, because they run along
the top of the joist, not along the gap in the decking. But they're not
free...
