Pine Cone Collection Tool
The Coneivore may have a bit of a silly name, but when it comes to picking up pine cones it’s a serious tool. . You just push it down on top of the cone and when it’s full (about 20 cones or so) you just turn it upside down and dump it wherever you find appropriate. It weighs in at less than three pounds empty and is right at three feet long. Word is it works with apples, walnuts, baseballs, tennis balls, golf balls and all manner of items with a similar size and shape. A true multi-tasker, the pine cone picker upper tool is available at Clean Air Gardening for $39.99Euell Gibbons used to say that parts of a pine tree are edible; but I don’t think he was talking about pine cones. Oh, they have their uses, don’t get me wrong but in any case those uses involve picking the things up and as someone cursed with a bad back I avoid doing anything that would involve stooping over. Worse still, they are bad for your lawn and enough of them creates a fire hazard. Luckily, we have options.
