Introducing the Black and Decker Leaf Hog!
Every once in a while I get an urge to pick up a new toy, so recently I snagged the Black & Decker Leaf Hog. It was long overdue for me to acquire a tool to further shred up my leaves for the compost pile...what a difference! Before that, I was merely ripping up leaves by hand...definitely not feasible. While I would never consider to use its primary function as a leaf blower, its vacuuming/shredding ability is awesome. I was surprised how ergonomic and quiet this thing was during operation. The vacuum bag snaps on and off easily with one hand, and it can hold a fair bit of stuff. While one run over a leaf pile will tear them up nicely, I found that it works better to empty…
