Don’t throw away those old plastic kiddie pools! They work great when cleaning up the yard in the fall. Just cut a hole near the pool’s rim, tie a rope through it and use it as a debris hauler. I use these for carrying away leaves, limbs and dead plants, but you can fill them with any material – soil, garden tools — anything not too heavy for you to pull. They glide easily through the yard and on pavement.
