Easy Tree Limb Clean Up

Easy Tree Limb Clean Up - off they goI decided to do a little tree trimming in my yard and once I got finished I had a whole lot of limbs in several areas of my yard. It was going to take several trips to get them all moved to my dump pile. In the past I would have dragged a handful of limbs (all that I could get in one hand) to my dump site.

Then I had an idea!! I'm sure someone else has thought of this before, but I was amazed at how easy and quickly I could clean up these limbs using a simple 20ft rope. Easy Tree Limb Clean Up  - length of rope

 

I took one limb at a time and ran the rope through the "Y" in the branch, stacking the limbs on top of each other. Easy Tree Limb Clean Up  - looping rope through the Y of a branch

 

I threaded the rope through all my limbs, placing the small stuff in between the big pieces so they were sandwiched in. Once I had all the limbs roped in, all I had to do was pull it to my dump site and pull the rope out! Easy Tree Limb Clean Up  - cinched up

I like that idea. I'll be trying it when I start pruning the bushes and trees. I think it will work much better for me than my method. Great tip!!

Once I discovered how easy it is to drag yard debris or ? on a tarp my life got much much easier. I also got a foam board sled and used that for smaller, heavier items - like potted plants.

Did you pull this with your riding lawn mower?

No, I pulled it by hand but that is a good idea. I will do that next time and can probably pull more at the time.
