Does anyone have any bright ideas of how I can collect the leaves
which have
fallen all over a large chipped slate area? Hand knees and elbow
grease is
the method I have so far employed.

Try an electric garden blower/vac. It really does blow the leaves
into a corner where you can pick it up

Certainly the wind around here, particularly recently, has kept my
gravelled areas totally free of fallen leaves. I guess if the chipped
slate was very small maybe a vacuum would lift them as well?
