Walnut vacumn cleaner like/picker

[MidwestGal]

On Salmon's blog he mentions how hard it is on the back to pick walnuts. It is too!!! Recently, I discovered these. You push them around on the ground like a vacumn pushing into each nut. The nut goes between the flexable bars and end up in the cage. Just empty when full.

I hope this helps somebody!

heck use what you already have . a rake or a potato rake even a fruit picker would work

I bought one like that a couple of years ago and love it... it really does help the back and makes it quicker to pick up the nuts.

I used to crawl on my hands and knees picking them up for people, but got tired of that quick. 12 people said they would come and get them, not one showed up, so the other day it sounded like a war zone here. Thats right, I cut grass w/o picking up the walnuts. Squirels are havin' a field day.
