Poo picking virgin

This is what I use for poo picking:

It is strong, so you can pull it through the long grass. It can pick up a good sized poo in one good scoop. I find it more comfortable to use than a rake as they tend to make my wrists hurt.

welcome to pooland, a kids garden rake is more solid, i have one, it is so easy.

try to poo pick on say monday and thursday or friday on a regular basis its so much easier with routine, and looks nicer at the weekend!

Also, be prepared for tennis elbow from poo picking!

There is something to be said for stallions, and ex-stallions. They tend to poo on top of the last one, so you only have a very few big piles, the largest of which is always quite near the gate.

I don't do it, but it would be very possible to construct a muck pile, and get them to poo directly on to it

Totally agree, forget forks etc. Get the rubber gloves on, it's the only way to get it all up out of the grass. And it's quicker too!!

Does anyone use shovels for anything anymore? I grew up poo picking with a good old fashioned shovel and now i see people with bedding forks. I hardly ever see shovels anywhere on yards anymore.

I use the snow shovels, wooden handle with red plastic scraper Saves bending down

I already muck out by hand, don't think my back could take it! Although, I am going to wear my marigolds for any bits the rake doesn't collect

Just remember to pop a plastic or rubber glove on the wheelbarrow handles, otherwise you'll end up with pooey handles like a livery of mine did to my barrow! I didn't notice to start with.... bleurgh!
