Problems removing leaves from gravel

Hi Gardeners World Members,

My name is Ross Whillis and I am a product designer.

Recently I have been working on a product which removes leaves from gravel without removing or displacing the gravel. The design picked up an award in last years James Dyson Awards making the international top 20!

If anyone is experiencing issues removing leaves from their gravel I want to hear from you. Your feedback is very valuable.

Thanks!

    Hi Ross,

    I attempted to complete your survey but it won't accept my measurements no matter how I put them in. Maybe it doesn't believe me!!! image

    I've done it, but , like pp, it wouldn't let me give length x width, so I just gave a number for length . How that helps, is beyond me, but done it.

    Devon.

    I broke it HF. I put in 300 square metres and it laughed and spat me out!

    I am currently in the process of going through different design changes and modifications with a view to launch the product commercially in the foreseeable future.

    I am working through prototypes all the time and I would be more than happy to lend you a device to test. If you would like to be involved with product testing send an email through to [email protected] and I can add you to my mailing list.

    You can view the product page in the link below to find out more about the project.

    Hopefully it wont be too long before you can purchase one!

    Thanks
