The Bagster. I hauled quite a few leaves from the yard to the garden spot about 1/4 mile away...

I had looked at these things at Lowe's several times trying to figure out what they could be used for. They are $29 and are a portable 'dumpster' for construction waste, etc. When you get it filled, you call the company and they haul it off for some price.

When the leaves started getting raked up in the yard and we're dragging them all over the place piled on old tarps I thought Aha! and went and bought one. They are 4'x8'x2' tall and supposedly hold up to 3500 lbs. Quite handy, so far!
 
I trust you put the leaves in the specially designed bio-degrader box, or did you just burn them, wasting valuable biomass and garden goodness? Just pushing your chain - good idea ! ;^)
 
Bob,
When I was raising a family and had a garden, I would get all my neighbors to put their leafs in my garden. I would till the garden first. If the leafs were a foot thick in the fall, by spring there would be less than 6 inches. By the end of the summer, they were all gone. So why put them in a bio-degrader box? They decomposed in the garden, keep the ground moist, keep the weeds down, didn't have to stake the tomatoes. All I did was rake the leafs pack a little and plant the garden. I called it mimimun work gardening. Like no till.

How much can you lift with the boom?

All are going right to the garden.
 
George, the "bio-degrader box" was part of my 'tongue in cheek' comment. I grew up with , and still have a compost box/area. We put all biodegradable (sp?) stuff in it and use the compost on the garden. Only downside is Raccoons like it too. I have a reasonably priced paintball gun that discourages them somewhat, and learned lately , if you freeze the 'balls' ( come on now, the paintballs) they seem to have a better responce. HPH
 
(quoted from post at 18:37:17 11/20/12) That is a great idea.
Would work for most anything. Cheap too.
Can you imagine being without a boom pole?
I can't.

I love the boom pole. Great for all kinds of things. Tractor Supply has a 'sling bag carrier' but it's $80 plus tax/shipping. I really wanted one but didn't want to spend that money. This Bagster is less than 1/2 that price.
