I got fed up with picking up windfall apples every time I mow the grass around the trees so knocked up this rake yesterday. Just tried it & it works a treat  |

I agree that it's much more satisfying making yourself something that works, but you're too late to patent it.

Great minds & all that. Mine cost me about €10 & a couple of hours of my time.

I hasten to add that's not something I made  - it's available here for 15€ + 8€ postage, without a handle, so yours is much better value. |
