Talkback: Collecting autumn leaves

I use a childs snow shovel with a flat tined rake makes picking up easy.

The greatest way I know for collecting leaves is a method my father taught me. Take a reasonably sized tarp and lay it flat out on the ground. Rake the leaves onto the tarp to a desired amount. Gather together the four corners to form a large sack. Drag this "sack of leaves" along the ground to the compost.
The tarp method works well with collecting and disposing of shrub cuttings, hedge trims etc.
Absolutely the best, cheapest and easiest way for collecting!

Or use an old sheet, like we do, and blow the leaves onto it with a leaf blower
