Getting long strips of grass out of gutter?

[slippy]

There was this strip of grass which wouldn't suck out with vac.  Managed to pull bits over side but it wouldn't pull off.  The strip was over a metre long.  How I get this out? 

Also, when u use the narrow ended part of vac or large round bit?

go up ladder and pull it out

I had a job like that. Spent ages trying to suck it out, no joy, then realised i had a weed hook, basically a bent fork tool. Which you use to lift the turf out instead of vacuum. Works but defeats purpose of vac sometimes.

I use a Gardiner tool that fits on a quick loq to break it up.

I tried that but job was 30ft high n it wasnt any good as too much flex on slx to get.
I got the weedhook from gutter cleaning systems with gutter vac. I still struggled using it at height as it was pure turf n gutters had the little brackets every meter along. Havent finished that job, should have been a cherry picker job really.

Generally we would break it into sections and vac it out if it blocks the vac pipe at the tool end just put it in the floor remove the plant growth then back into the gutters and carry on

All rooty and stuck together, we couldn't break it up. 

How I do that?

U got a link for that?  Would it go on an SLX or my aquafed gutter pole?

I have one of these, it’s literally a bent dinner fork rivited to an aluminium section, if you got a spare goose neck you could drill into and bolt the fork to it.

I have a stainless slash cut pipe that I use for breaking stuff up, it’s much sturdier.

Gardiners do a weed hook of sorts fits in the end of any Gardiner wfp that accepts a removable goose neck you can Evan spray water through it works quite well

I got an unger 6 metre aluminium pole. Maybe it would be better than my SLX.  Firmer with more weight behind it for whacking.

Worth a try.  Will ask Mark at aquafed what he does as well.

I have that but when slx is at 30ft, theres alot of bend in the pole n if your trying to break up well established turf that doest want to budge its not that good, but but be fine with normal crud.

May be try hooking it out of the gutter with it instead? Strange as we rarely have any issues and we do some seriously choked guttering
