EZ Leaf Hauler: Product Review
The EZ Leaf Hauler is a novel product for picking up and disposing of leaves. It’s essentially a large, heavy-duty tarp with 3 sets of handles for dragging, rolling, or stowing. Plus, it uses fiberglass poles to hold the back and edges up (like a giant dustpan) and stakes to keep the leading edge taut against the ground so leaves go into the hauler rather than under it. It worked very well and made Continue Reading
Corona BigLOAD™ Leaf Rake (#45030): Product Review
Not only does the Corona BigLOAD Leaf Rake make raking faster, it’s more comfortable than any other rake I’ve tried. And I still felt good when I was done. By my count, they got everything right. The only improvement they could make is to send someone along with the rake to do the actual work for me. Continue Reading

Lightweight but solid, it allows you to easily rake, scoop and pick up just about any kind of garden debris. Available in three bright colors, it’s made in America and has a full, one-year warranty. Continue Reading
HopperTopper Lawn & Leaf Funnel: Product Review
The HopperTopper Lawn & Leaf Funnel is a funnel-like cardboard or plastic device that fits into the top of a paper yard waste bag. It’s supposed to make getting leaves and debris into the bag an easy and frustration-free experience. However, it has several flaws that make it difficult to use. Overall, it’s just not worth the effort. Continue Reading
