My name is Ross Whillis and I am a product designer.

Recently I have been working on a product which removes leaves from
gravel without removing or displacing the gravel.

You'd do far better working on a product for removing gravel... only
an utter imbecile places gravel in a garden... after raking stones
from my soil I'd have to be brain dead to put stones back.

Interesting to see the link, how much does it weigh all together. Also
what do you use after the leaf blower to put them into the compost
pile.

Leaf blower to piles. I use a rake to fill a 50 gallon RubberMaid wheeled trash can
with a hinged lid.

I wait for a dry windy fall day and ride my tractor mower fitted with
mulching blades over the dry fallen leaves, the mower shoots the
ground up leaves into a plile as I cirled arond and over the pile,
within a few minutes the leaves are shredded into tiny bits one can
barely see. Come spring they have amended the soil. I can't be
bothered collecting and composting leaves, too much time and effort...
I compost kitchen scraps. I mulch mowed gras too, no grass clipping
to deal wih. When clearing brush I make piles at the edge of the
woods for critters. I can't imagine normal brained people dumping
gravel in their gardens, what fools.
