Poo-picking - I've found a tool that makes it easy!

[Enfys]

[ It helps me do 10+ fields per day (on a bad day that is!!).

Dear God! You do ten fields!? Do you have time to do anything else at all?

I don't pick at all, if I spent that long moving slowly around a field the mosquitos would think all their Birthdays had come at once and would suck me dry, besides I have other things to do as well and just don't have time...quad and harrow for me I'm afraid.

If I ever did pick up it would be the old latex gloves, flick into a muck bucket job and bung into the trailer.

Shavings fork for me and a pair of heavy duty rubber gloves and a bucket for the stuff they hide in the long grass.

For my twopennyworth - use two ordinary plastic lawn rakes - you can with practise place the handles under your arms so that the heads are extensions of your hands - the big benefit is that using them this way you don't have to bend down! Great for oldies.

Mind you I do prefer sitting on a tractor with a vacuum gadget behind.

I must be in the dark ages because I use a big lightweight aluminium grain shovel...and my right foot! I've never understood the attraction of poo-pickers - they look really heavy and unwieldy?

My Partner does a fabulous job, starts himself, and is free. Best thing ever for poo picking

That is about the only job my OH insists on doing. He tells me I am too slow, and off he goes!

i'd actually rather poo-pick than clip tho... I HATE c;lipping!
The images wouldn;t download for me, so couldn't see what it was?

I find Marigolds and a bucket make the most through job and just as quick as any tool.
