Tool for moving garden waste from meadow - e.g. rose bush's first cutting (4,6)

'tool for moving garden waste from meadow e' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'g rose bush's first cutting' is the wordplay.
'g' becomes 'lea' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rose' becomes 'flower' (rose is a type of flower).
'bush's first' becomes 'b' (lst letter of 'bush').
'cutting' is an insertion indicator (some letters cut their way into a word).
'flower' going around 'b' is 'fblower'.
'lea'+'fblower'='LEAF BLOWER'

Can you help me to learn more?
