Here's a simple but ingenious device that makes bagging easy. Slide this plastic chute into a standard 30-gal. paper yard waste bag to hold the bag upright and open; lay the bag on the ground and you can rake leaves right up the ramp and into the bag.
- Ingenious helper for fall clean-up
- Three-sided box shape stabilizes yard waste bag and holds it upright
- Smooth plastic easily slides in and out of bag
- Folds flat for storage
- Our , sold separately, makes raking easy

Comments about Leaf Bagging Helper:
more sturdy than it looks but I thought for the price it would be made of a lightweight aluminum-otherwise very satisfied as it keeps its shape and is easy to handle-just worry that running dogs and children might bend it by stepping on it but so far, we're okay

I needed something to move leaves to plastic trash bags. This product was most assuredly not the answer. I am quite capable of following directions, but I have not yet figured out how to fold and go.

This item is easy to use and to store. A big plus is that it not only fits the paper lawn bags perfectly, but is readily used with other bags and receptacles as well. It allows bags to lie on their sides on the ground, so that you can simply sweep/rake directly into them. As the bags fill, you will have to stand them up for topping off. It is quite lightweight, so I'll have to see how well it stands up to use.

Comments about Leaf Bagging Helper:
Although tricky to insert into the paper bag, once it's in, it really holds it open and helps offload as many as four mower bags of debris. I'm a bit concerned that it's basically just reinforced cardboard, so I don't know how long it'll last, but I've used it now for six full bags of Cottonwood leaves, and it made a difference.

I needed something like this to hold up our black bags when putting old clothing in it because it is difficult to pull a full bag out of a garbage can. The idea is very ingenious. Just pull the sides out when it's full.
I did have a hard time figuring out how to put it together. I did like the idea that the instructions were printed right on the product instead of on a paper that probably would've gotten lost.
Seems like it would've been easier if it had four sides instead of three.
It did seem to fall over easily. Maybe it wouldn't fall over if it were in the paper bags instead like it's advertised.
Anyway, it's a good idea... and I'm still using it. It's better than nothing, but it could use some improvements.
Seems a little pricey.

It does exactly what it is advertised to do. It goes in and out of the bags easily.

Comments about Leaf Bagging Helper:
This is great because it holds a bag open for filling with leaves, debris. Confusing to fold so it stays open, and then doesn't stay open that well. May be better with paper bags-not available here and I wanted to use heavy contractors bags. Would be better if it kept its shape without support of paper bag and if it had tabs to hold plastic bag up around funnel. Overall a huge help and worth the purchase despite shortcomings.
