I agree completely! My favorite weed killer is my own two hands and a weeder. Having said that, I live in Arizona and the dominant landscape design here is trees and bushes planted with rocks for the ground cover. A leaf rake is real good at picking up both the leaves and the rocks. I wish there was a leaf rake that didn't pick up the rocks. I have grudgingly bought an electric leaf blower because of the rocks :-(
