Get thee to a hardware store or home center and buy a leaf blower/vacuum.
Now, you may have only marginal use for a leaf blower, but that's not what
we're after here. We're after the vacuum function. Gas or electric -
whichever trips yer trigger.
I bought a combo blower/vac/mulcher-electric at Home Depot recently for
$69.00-best money I ever spent. You should see how my kids laugh at me when
I am "vacuuming" the back yard...lol.
