Will this penetrate leaves, killing leaf miners? thanks!

Another way of naturally killing leaf miners is to use neem oil. This insecticidal oil affects the leaf miner's natural life cycle and will reduce the number of larva that become adults and thus the number of eggs that the adults will lay. While neem oil is not an immediate way to kill leaf miners, it is a natural way to treat these pests.

I think it could mulch them without much problem, but I question how efficiently it would suck them up. With dry, raked leaves it has no problem, but if the needles are matted thick in the ground, it may not work to your expectations.

Most likely. From both the product description and my experience, this product kills ALL vegetation.

Only if you are real careful... this stuff kills everything -- broad leaf, grasses, weeds and of course vegetables -- if you get it on a leaf it goes right to the root ... kills the entire plant.. I have used it in open areas around bushes and scrubs but never very close as it will kill the roots also ... me I would not us in a garden...

This product has not been tested for its effectiveness against leaf miners. Instead, we would recommend our Safer Brand BioNEEM Insecticide and Repellent, 16 Ounce Concentrate

Yes. It kills leaves that it touches but does not penetrate to the roots like other weed killers. What hits the ground slightly decreases the Ph level for a day or 2 then dissipates, leaving no change to soil conditions. My understanding is that the acetic acid severely dehydrates the plant instead of outright poisoning.

It is powerful enough to move a pile of leaves. Haven't used it much with wet leaves so can't really say how well it performs there - I don't think it would have a problem with wet leaves. As far as it being compared to Stihl, I haven't used that brand but they all have ratings for how much air they move. You could go by that to compare.

I understand that it does. I think they use it around here on ornamental ash trees. It certainly should kill any borer since that insect grub is eating the living part of the bark and that is going to have the chemical just like the leaves do. Also, if you have large trees this insecticide is available at a much lower unit cost if you buy larger amounts. Just Google the actual chemical name of the insecticide. In fact it is used by farmers on some things.

I've blown leaves with it (and it worked well), but I wouldn't buy it as a dedicated leaf blower. I mostly blow dust with it.

No this tiller will damage anything at any depth. It's powerful. I used it to remove plant roots.I would not recommend it for that use.

No, it will now shred branches that large. It will handle small twigs that always get mixed in with leaves when you rake or blow them into a pile.

Absolutely. I live in a harshly weeded area/Arizona. It will whack anything up to and including mesquite saplings.

It will definitely mulch and chop up dry leaves. I tried some slightly wet leaves and it worked so so depending on how wet and heavy the leaves were. I trimmed my shrubs and tried to suck up and mulch the clippings. If the clippings were short it worked just fine, even tough they were still green. The bigger twigs with sticks and leaves would get sucked up but NOT mulched and eventually plugged the input. Thus I would like to modify / sharpen the blades to cut up small fresh cut and still green shrub clippings. I will need to research this option further.

This stuff kills whatever has leaves! But to be ABSOLUTELY certain, reduce amount of water used.

Sorry I don't know, but the hose diameter is small so I think it would clog with leaves.

Those leaves should present no problem to the machine. We have a huge volume of Norway Maple leaves to deal with and the machine works just fine. This presumes you don't try to jam a huge amount of leaves in at one time. Little bites!

Yes, absolutely, the Work WG508, will effectively vacuum those small leaves for you, it even vacuums the leaves from the sand, leaving the sand behind. I love using the work, its amazing.
