Anyone tried hedgehog in their gutters???
Hi due to the nature of our gutters and overhang don't think gutter guard will be the best choice.
Anyone tried hedgehog in theirs and what is your impression of it does it do the job?

Better Homes and Gardens tested different gutter guards on Friday, and hedgehog stuff got the thumbs up. look really easy to install compared to the other options

The hedgehog still sounds a good idea though.

I probably weigh more than you do.

I probably weigh more than you do. I know I enquired about it and started the thread but suppose the hedgehog would need same about of ladder movement or roof walking as blowing the leaves out.
