Re:Leaf Vac./Mulcher

Hi Guys:

I guess I need some type of equipment to deal with the leaves of 5 giant
maples.   Where I once had wide straight paths  between my garden beds
which were mowed and raked, I now have serpentine meanders filled with
washed stone. Because of garden creep they are much narrower in places and
any sort of push/ pull contrivance will not work. What I need is a gas
powered pack pack leaf vacuum/shredder, which fills a large container or
bag with a good leaf to mulch ratio.  I don't think I want anything
electric because of cords...but I am not absolutely sure.  I have an old
leaf blower with a cord and I don't like it. It's not that it sucks, it's
that it doesn't.
   I am investigating a machine from ECO at about $200.00  which might be
what I want. I don't care about expanses of lawn...that I can rake. What is
going to drive me crazy is clearing/raking the washed stone pathways of
leaves. I like the idea of the leaves being mulched.The  blurbs say that
this machine has a 12 to 1 mulch ratio....that doesn't seem like much. I
just don't know.  Anybody with experience out there. I am not looking for
something to suck up the neighborhood Great Dane, but I don't want another
toy which stays in the third story of the "obsolete" tool shed.  Thanks
glen
