Since I sadly live in the city limits, and have lots of trees, every year I have the dreaded job of raking and bagging paper bags of leaves! The hard part is hand stuffing the bags.
I've been thinking of some way to quickly compact them into the bags for disposal. I saw the compactor on YouTube, the converted log spliter. It's purpose though is to make logs. It is much too slow. I saw the one on Ebay that uses the tractor jack over the 55 gal barrel, just didn't look too practical. I thought about a kitchen trash compactor but afraid it wouldn't hold up, but then it might...
Thinking I could lay it on it's back, extend the frame, add a big square funnel... Anyone ever tried? Any brands better than others? Any other ideas? Gotta' keep this low budget too!
Thanks!
