Money Well Spent

Today I raked and bagged all of my leaves. This year, once I'd raked all of my leaves into piles, I decided I did not feel like hauling a metal trash can around my yard to hold my leaf bags, and that I would visit my hardware store to see if I could find a lightweight and/or wheeled bag holder. What I ended up getting was this plastic bag holder which does not have wheels, but which is light enough that that doesn't really matter. You just reverse coil it, put it in your garbage bag and it stands up light a trash can, then slip it out when the bag is full. It was cheap, it's easy to use, and it won't take up much storage space in my garage. The other thing I got were these leaf scoops which I will henceforth affectionately refer to as my monster hands, because that's what they look like to me. These two things made the job so much faster and easier.
