Shop Vac to pick up leaves?
Is is possible to use a Shop Vac with no attachment on the end of the hose,
of course, to gather your leaves in the fall? The law doesn't allow you to rake them into the street anymore and my landscaper charged an outrageous price last year. |

And then what are you going to do with 50-100 trash bags of leaves? Burning them is probably also illegal. -- Rich Greenberg Sarasota, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 941 378 2097 Eastern time.

Billy Goat is a well known maker of lawn vacuums. I use a Stihl blower/vacuum/shreader, and it sort of works. Regardless, you still have to either pack those paper bags really tight or put it in a pile like I do. The hose on a shop vac is too small. Its just as easy to use a blower to push the leaves in a pile for packing up. Don't use one of those stupid horizontal motor blowers. They don't move right to left very easy. Stihl has a vertical motor. greg |
