The black plastic mesh is ok with big leaves but pine needls would

to clean out gutters blocked with small stuff.
At an exhibition I did come across a stall where a guy was
selling open cell plastic foam for this purpose. He assured me it
had a 15 year guarantee. I asked him if he saw himself still
selling the stuff in 15 years' time.
I am about to install (next week) some hedgehog gutter stuff
http://www.hedgehoggutterbrush.com/ as an experiment in our most
vulnerable gutters. We have oak and beech on one side and pine on
the other so blocked gutters are a common occurrence - they need
clearing three times p.a.. As leaf fall is just starting I will
know how effective it is fairly soon.
It looks good. Please let us know how it does.
I'd be interested as well.
