The prestigious National Trust owned Tatton Park gardens are managed by East Cheshire CC and like any similar open ground, were subject to the recent autumn 'fall'. During a recent demonstration in the gardens around Tatton House, the Little Wonder Optimax blower was tested in both very poor and wintry conditions. The annual leaf litter was heavily compacted and yet proved no obstacle for this powerful range of blowers which include an integrated built-in adjustable air-flow
system.
Head Gardener Sam Youd who was most impressed with the performance and results of their new Little Wonder Optimax blower. " We were delighted with the effectiveness of the machinery. It is both versatile, compact and powerful and well able to cope with many tasks. It has also been extremely useful for blowing snow from the paths and roads during the recent spell of inclement weather. I would have no hesitation in recommending this fine machine as a vital part of the plant and equipment fleet for gardens such as ours."
During the same exercise, the Little Wonder High Performance Vacuum (hpv) was employed to clear the grounds within the impressive Italian Garden. Using the optional wonder hose, this equipment easily removed any autumn debris from within the bedding plant areas without any damage to existing plant rooting or establishment. In general, the areas of woodland 'fall' were cleared of accumulated leaf litter without problem.
