It’s also worth noting it’s an ideal time to also make some leaf mould, which makes excellent soil conditioner. Then open the grabber so the blades are apart, put them around the pile of leaves, close the grabber handles, and you’ve captured the laves. Made picking them up a breeze and despite the wheel barrow being full, i emptied it in about three goes. Leaf grabbers let you shovel and pick up lots of leaves in one sweeping motion, a sort of rake and shovel in one.

I was a little worried as the blades dont meet along their length but this doesnt affect their performance. But if that’s not a deal breaker for you, then these are an inexpensive way to get leaves and other debris out of your garden.The long handles and wide blades mean you can easily scoop up leaves without having to bend down to pick them up. This leaf grabber will save you time and back ache as you easily collect leaves and other garden waste, just use the moulded grip handles to open the large jaws, grab the leaves or grass cuttings and deposit them into a garden bag or wheelbarrow. I think the Draper model has the edge when it comes to build quality with the double-framed handles; it’s just more sturdy. While they're on the more expensive end of the scale as leaf grabbers go, with plenty of five star reviews and from such a trusted brand, they're likely to be a worthwhile investment.

This is not the most sturdy design and construction so you need to be a bit careful when using it but its lasted me years. Sweeping up fallen leaves can result in a clean and tidy finish, but the process itself can be long, boring and hard work. While many of the blades have some semblance of teeth on their front edge or a kind of serrated edge, it’s not usually enough to pull the leaves into a pile. Leave the bag somewhere out of sight, such as behind the shed, to break down for up to two years, and use as a soil conditioner for your garden – a hassle-free winter gardening task.These long-handled leaf grabbers feature non-slip grip to allow for a productive leaf clearing session. So I still rake them into piles with a plastic tine leaf rake but then I can lift them with this leaf grabber and also rake again by opening it up to get those last few leaves without having to grab the rake again to finish the job off. We have been using the Darlac Grab n Lift for a few years now and find it to be a brilliant piece of kit.

Welcome to my site, my name is John and I have been lucky enough to work in horticultural nurseries for over 15 years in the UK. With no bending needed and a lightweight, tubular steel frame with soft foam handles, you can tidy up your garden in no time with minimal effort.I also use them in my family’s small garden centre, where mature trees surround us, and with them come the masses of leaves every autumn.
