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

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

Dear God! You do ten fields!?:eek: 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?
