We've just laid some slate chippings in our front garden and I am
contemplating getting a vac when the leaves fall. Will it suck up the
chippings? They are of different sizes but larger than granite type
chippings. If a vac would cope, can anyone suggest a good one for a small
garden.

I used to have one, but I got rid of it. I found that I spent more time
emptying the bag than actually getting leaves up.

However, I doubt if you would have trouble with chippings.
