I have a tarp full of mulched leaves right now. Left the tarp open so the
rain will wet them tonight - then I'll button it up and take it out to my
compost pile tomorrow afternoon.

I got the tool because of the optional vacuum attachment.
made a quick way to get leaves out of a flower bed without
disturbing the mulch. I thought it would vacuum the leaves
up and fill the shoulder bag. I vacuumed and vacuumed enough
leaves to fill the bag three times and deciding something was
strange I stopped, opened the bag and to my complete delight
found the leaves had been shredded into tiny pieces.

later when trimming the new growth off a hedge I found out the
tool will vacuum and shred those trimmings also.

funny to me how the sales person made no mention of how the
tool would shred.

Yup, leaf vacs are quite handy, especially for mulched beds. Even better if
you compost. They've already got a nice headstart, size-wise. =) Mine
mulches them 10x. I'm sure that's what yours is, too.

Photons have mass? I didn't even know they were Catholic.
