No matter what you use whether it be a rake or a blower the vacuum will
definitely clog but all of it takes technique with the rake you have to skim
the top and the last little bit you have to rake and rake and rake until just
the leaves are on top and pick them out by hand or with the leaf blower the
technique is to twirl and lift at the right angle and it can leave the bark
alone and remove just leaves you might have a little bit mixed but I think
it's far better than using a rake if you use the vacuum attachment on your
blower you will more than likely pick up some bark at some point that's
clogging or even breaking your blower
