Long handled leaf grabber

Thank-you. We do have a lot of leaves here. The garden is surrounded by them. Beech, Birch, Oak and Rowan all supply us with a lot of leaves.

 

The day I have to pay someone to garden for me is the day I sign myself into a Nursing home.
Seriously though, paying is not an option as I have no access to money. I gave it all away 50 odd years ago.
Plus that would be an option only if all the leaves fell at the same time, but they don't. The oak leaves are still on the tree now. We actually collect leaves almost every day when it is not raining. The path at the top of the garden would be knee deep if we did not deal with the leaves on a regular basis. On the border at one side of the garden where I have not bothered, they are over 12 inches deep.
Have a look!

 

OH Dear! There was me thinking that all us gardeners were young, fit etc etc, chasing all our ladyfriend forum members up the garden path.

Joking aside. I purchased a leaf, garden waste pickerup...whatever on Ebay. Cost around £17. I am more than happy.

 

I've used long handled ones (Separate ones, not the ones that are joined together) and it was quite easy putting the leaves into a builders' bag. An alternative is to use a garden vacuum and then empty the contents into your builders' bag. I prefer the second method because shredded leaves take up much less space.
