Well down here in central Florida (Deltona) we got that rain too. The problem is that after the rain we are getting 95 degrees of heat and humidity and my pepper that they were looking so good they are getting burned. And this is only middle of May. Not looking forward the summer. I did a dome like you have but smaller but I am in the process of changing it of place. Is a lot of work for a 69 woman. But I am getting there. Good idea using the blower.
That’s a pretty gay leaf blower
Dude. Amazing idea.
OMG 🥱
Why don't you just put some shade cloth over structure when you have lots of rain?
Dude, I'm little 90 minutes from you towards Raleigh direction. We haven't had as much rain, just cloudy days. But HOLY COW, around the 12th, for about an hour, we had a massive deafening hail storm combined with blinding downpours and a flash flood. Hail was marble sized, 1/4" to 1/2". Don't know why I never thought about this, but it absolutely SHREDDED my garden, killed seedlings, destroyed plastic plant tags, and heavily damaged anything that survived. Basically everything got shot to shit. All non-plant stuff was fine(cars, house, ect) but damn it's like I planted my garden at the end of a shooting range. Farmers in the area that planted less than a month ago were BIG MAD… I feel sorry from them.
What a wealth of info on how important a leaf blower can be! Thanks for the info!
Now I have another reason to add to my Makita cordless tool arsenal.
Ok. This is an interesting idea. Having moved from sunny and dry CA to humid, rainy, thundery SW France – I am way out of my gardening comfort zone and looking for any potential solution to the fungal issues that plague my garden every year now 😖😖 A cordless leaf blower looks like something I can handle 🤣
Great idea. 🌺
If I didn't despise the noise pollution from leaf blowers so much this would be a great idea for me. Not knocking it for others- you do you.
I don't want to add to the constant "brrrrrrr brrrrrrrrrr" summer cacophony.
Do you think the leaf blower trick would help with fig trees that get too wet when figs are ripening?
Hmmm…we had a lot of rain for several days last week here in southwest Virginia, but it was followed by a lot of wind, so the plants dried out pretty quickly. But this would be a great idea when there is no wind.
I’m thinking that this would also be helpful in avoiding so much mold on strawberries when there’s excess rain. Now just to keep the rabbits and squirrels from harvesting them for me!
I wonder if a leaf blower would work to pollinate corn seeing as how corn is wind pollinated. Maybe I’ll try it if I get pollen and no wind.
I noticed the tomato plants I have under the shade cloth did not get fungus, but the ones without a shade cloth did. adds blower to cart
Could you blow blooms off😮 ??
Kool idea 😮glad I thought of it😅😅😂😂❤
Great idea
Who would have thought a leaf blower would become an adult toy for a tomato plant! 😮😉
Leaf blowers should be banned the amount of noise pollution they produce
I can't believe you didn't mention pollinating corn considering you've already come up with such a unique idea, maybe this would work for that too.
Thankyou for that tip. Very helpful. Particularly the tomatoe pollination. I will share this with my poor friends in northern nsw Australia who are currently under 5m plus of flooding. They have been getting swamped for months but those out of the flood zones would find this very helpful.
