Raking leaves is one of those projects that everyone is always trying to invent a tool for. Anything to make the job easier and faster.
Gardener's Supply offers a pair of plastic leaf scoops that, worn on each hand, allow you to grab lots more leaves -- or grass clippings or weeds -- every time.
They will fit any size hands, and they cost $14.95.
You can visit Gardener's Supply by clicking on the button in the rail to the left.

And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

I've also seen them in Ace Hardware stores.
They would be great for scooping up lightweight stuff like compost.
And Bed, Bath and Beyond has some, too. -- Susan
