Awesome Phil! I have one too but have yet to use it as I have an electric shredder/chipper that I use.
I am curious as to how well the vacuum attachment works on my Black and Decker blower I just bought a while back.
Do you have a leaf shredder of any type?
If not you can put the bag on your...
Its all good Miguelovic and you have some good points.
I was not in any way referring to the IC mag incident which I know nothing of, I was referring to CC leaving the forum and its not what you think but I am not at liberty to discuss it. Anyways I apologize for being short sometimes and not...
Good advice HB01.

HB01 gave some great advice as well and I agree with him 110% on the ...
My apologies to the forum.
I have been an asshole at times and that is to my shame.
I need to stay out of the forums when I am in a bad mood obviously and that has been a lot of the time lately.

Do you ever post anything positive? It's rare.
It just shows how goddamn little, as usual, you know about things. Troll elsewhere asshole.
And if you are going to whine to THP tell him to...
For those interested in organic gardening I submit this as the foundation of organic soil as a wise man once said and I agree 110%,
"Get your compost/vermicompost figured out and you won't have many questions that need an answer.
What I'm trying to say here is that in an organic garden, first...
Where did you hear that? Kelp can reach 175' or so. That's about halfway up a California Redwood. ;)
