First 1 bought the 12" one for acorns
First 1 bought the 12" one for acorns. I needed the smaller width for maneuverability because where my red oak tree is has numerous small sections. I bought the wider version for my pecan tree. Bag-A-Nut suggests removing leaves before using the Bag-a-Nut, but I've found it works great over the leaves. It fills up with leaves and the pecans shift to the bottom. When the leaves get too much, I take the basket back to my leaf pile, remove the leaves until the pecans are revealed, then pick out the pecans that are good. Some were premature drops, some squirrels have partially eaten. The partially eaten ones I leave for the doves. I used to pick up pecans by hand. I'd walk a row using my foot to push the leaves to one side so I always knew where I'd been. My grandsons (5 & 7) love them.
