ABSTRACT:
A pair of thin walled and nestable trapezoidal hoops have peripheral lengths approximately equal to the peripheral length of a commercial leaf bag near the free edge thereof. The leaf bag is inserted through the inner hoop and the free edge of the bag is folded back over the inner hoop. The outer hoop is nested over the inner hoop, thereby capturing the bag between the hoops and holding the mouth of the bag open. The hoops and bag can then be placed vertically on the ground with the short top section of the hoops serving as a handle gripable with one hand. Leaves can then be horizontally raked into the open bag with the second arm and hand.
