A quieter solution

Tribune News Service

I just wanted to alert everybody who has a yard full of leaves that there is an amazing tool I’ve discovered. It costs less than a tenth of what leaf-blowers cost, cuts the time spent on this annual task to a third of what it takes to do it with a blower and is 10,000 times quieter.

It’s called a rake.
