I use the dog’s (biodegradable of course 😇) poo bags to pick up any other animal sh*t. Otherwise sturdy gloves or a rake do most jobs, except for the occasional fallen tree!
Its quite a challenge to invent some revolutionary new garden tool. Whoever invented the leaf blower should be shot! Maybe keep it manual so as not to add to the consumption of fossil fuels or mining of precious metals for batteries?
Yes you are quite correct, I do not like leave blowers at all and have been analysed products that do the same job but manually

Good idea to get into the habit of proof reading everything, and double checking that spelling and grammar are correct. Automatic spell checkers and predictive text have a habit of changing words, sometimes with hilarious results. However, at A level, you won’t want to lose marks unnecessarily through poor grammar.

1-Are there any problems that you come across whilst gardening?
Yes, I find problems getting in amongst the plants to weed, prune etc without stepping on other plants. And the issue below...
2-Do you have a piece of land that is ever littered with leaves, grass clippings, twigs, etc ?
Yes, my chipped slate path, see below
3-Do you come across any items that you cant pick up with your bare hands? If so what ?
Nettles, slugs, brambles
4-Are there any loose objects that are too abundant to be picked up by hand?
Yes - bamboo leaves that have dropped and become stuck in my slate chippings. You can't sweep them because they are lodged between the chippings, I don't think a blower would work. The only option is to remove them individually by hand, which is not fun.

The trouble with garden design is that you're often redesigning the wheel. People have been cultivating the land for millennia and the basic tools have stood the test of time. Some can do with a bit of a tweak but technology isn't always the answer. For me, it would make my gardening easier if tools had disgustingly leery handles. I'm forever losing the tools with camouflage handles. Expensive tools with beautifully crafted wooden handles are a PITA.
