Oh boy! How nerdy can one be? But, I was wandering around home depot looking at gardening tools, and I decided to see if they had any narrow rakes. The amount of leaves that fall from the trees in Autumn here is nothing short of astonishing. So much so that the thought of trying rake in and around the shrubs in the front of the house fills me with dread. But I digress. So, here I am in Home Depot, and I spot what looks like a child's rake. The rake head is a plastic fan shape, just like the full-size ones I have in my garage. This one is about one tenth the size of my full sized rakes. I handle it and decide that it must be for an adult because the handle is long enough. I look at the tag and it says it is a "Shrub Rake." I handle it some more, wondering what exactly a "shrub rake" is. Is it for raking under the shrubs? Or...is it for actually raking the shrubs? It really doesn't matter because I'm buying it for getting under and behind the shrubs, and if it works for me then that's what it's for. (I looked it up, by the way, it's specifically made for raking under and behind shrubs)
