Leaves, Leaves and More Leaves!

The photograph shows two 'Before' photos at the top. I'd started to gather the leaves before I thought about recording it on film hence the patchy look.
We love the Silver Birch out the front of our house but what a mess in the Autumn/early Winter.
It's also a mess if you park a car underneath, sap and seeds seem to leak all year round but it hides the main road and reduces traffic noise, although the windows and doors that we had installed a few years ago cope with the noise really well.

The bottom photo shows the volume of leaves, 3/4 of a bin full. I should have put it in the compost bin but one is almost full and the other has old compost that I use in the garden so don't want to put new stuff in.

During the leaf gathering the blower/sucker jammed so most of this was done with a brush and picking up by hand.
Afterwards I took the leaf blower apart and found the flap that switches between blow and suck was jammed with small Silver Birch twigs. Good job we love that tree!
