This is like trying to remove fly poop from black pepper. Almost impossible.
Reply:Use a shop vac that has a screen or wide mesh attached at the end of the hose that is smaller than the gravel.
Reply:some kind of screen that you can stain the gravel
Reply:Don't use a blower use a shop vac.
Reply:set it on fire
Reply:Yard Vac

You can walk around and set the needles on fire in a controlled manner, small areas at a time.
