Fallen eaves
I want to buy a pair of those leaf grubbers; two plastic things with
"fingers" on one edge, for picking up leaves. My front garden, which is gravelled and planted, is covered with all the neighbourhood leaves as well as my own. A rake would likely damage the plants. Now I cannot drive, it is not easy to get to the garden centres or B&Q type places. I cannot justify buying a vac for one small garden. Can anyone tell me who sells them, or if there is somewhere on line which sells them? TIA Pam in Bristol |

Can you not get a kindly relative, friend or neighbour to keep an eye out for some in local garden centres or DIY sheds? Rick |

Unfortunately their web site is down at the moment www.lakelandlimited.com but you could always phone them to enquire on 015394 88100 or email them on -- Sally in Shropshire, UK bed and breakfast near Ludlow: http://www.stonybrook-ludlow.co.uk Reply To address is spam trap |

Sadly the postage costs more than the item so I shall have to phone round some garden centres and then get someone to take me. Pam in Bristol |
Thanks for the serenade, Sacha! I just wish they would drift past
someone else's window! Thanks Richard. At least I know what they are called now! Pam in Bristol |

If they are £4.99 +postage on the net they are probably £9.99 at your local GC. Anyway, what about here, £7.50 inc P+P http://www.gardening-emporium.co.uk/...products_id=72 -- Tumbleweed Remove my socks for email address |

But look around and get the general feel - inexpensive, reasonable quality and a fair attempt to have "everything". I would expect them to stock up with gardening stuff again early in the new year.
