On 11/15/2005 4:43 PM US(ET), took fingers to
keyboard, and typed the following:
I can't seem to find a replacement on line for a product I bought years
ago which to me is invaluable. Its a big wide dust pan for outdoor
cleanup. It's about 2 1/2 feet wide, hard plastic, with a handle. It
originally came with a rolled up hard plastic leaf bag insert which is
also great to make the leaf bag stand up. Then you rake the leaves
onto the dust pan and dump them into the upright bag. I've been able
to find replacement for the insert but not for the scoop / dust pan.
Anyone seen them ? If you see them, grab them. I highly recommend
'em!

I have never seen them, but I use a regular large garbage can with a
black plastic bag inserted. To pick up the leaves, I use two large leaf
rakes, one plastic and the other metal. Slide the plastic one under the
pile with the rake ends up (the metal rake would get the ends bent) and
use the metal one to compress and hold the leaves on the plastic rake,
then dump them in the can.
