If you could fit a hose in place of the bag on your garden vac, it

Plan 'B'. Use a vacuum cleaner with an interceptor tank. This is
simply a large container fitted between the vacuum cleaner and the
cleaning nozzle.

How about:

used with the big polythene sausage, and a chip collector like blower.
Stick the blower on the fill side of the lid, stick the blowers filter
bag on the exit side, and get a long length of 4" hose to connect to
the blower.


That's exactly what an interceptor tank uses for a lid.


yup, except I was suggesting filling a bag with the stuff and not a
dustbin. Since the bag is non rigid it can not be on the suction side of
the blower. So its not being used as an interceptor in this case, more a
dirty fan vacuum on steroids.
