Sounds of the fall; roar of the leafblowers

DOESN'T THE NOISE BOTHER YOU?
Yeah a little bit
DO YOU EVER GET COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT?
Yeah, sometimes.
IT'S MY THEORY THAT IT WOULD BE QUICKER TO RAKE UP THE LEAVES THAN USE THAT BLOWER. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I don't know. We only have one rake so I can't tell you. Sometimes you can't get around the whole plant with a rake.
SO IT'S TO PROTECT THE PLANTS...WOULD YOU PREFER TO USE A RAKE IF YOU HAD ANOTHER RAKE?
I'd prefer to use a better blower.
WHAT WOULD MAKE IT A BETTER BLOWER?
A backpack. We have one. It's better, more power.
