Unfortunately I didn't find this until most of the hard work was done - and when I say hard work I mean me having to manually pull the leaves off the end of the rake after each rake full. Using this I just slide the handle and the leaves are in the bin. Its genius and makes collecting leaf a million times simpler. You have to be a bit careful not to overfill it by spiking too many leaves at once or its tougher to slide but once you get the balance right you fly through it It also allows you to collect from between plants without harming them so great for under the trees where all my spring bulbs are emerging (Ok so my leaves should have been raked up before my snowdrops arrived but other things got in the way!) I would definitely recommend it.
