Notes about using The Gardener's Hollow Leg
- The strap handle on the bottom of the bag is not intended to hold the bag to your leg; don't put your leg into it. Using the handle makes it easy to empty the bag.
- Rose, berry and other thorny canes may scratch your leg through the fabric. One customer reports overcoming that problem by putting the bag in front of him, rather than on one side, when pruning roses.
- Many customers have bought The Gardener's Hollow Leg for fruit and nut harvesting. Here is a list of some of them: apples, citrus, persimmons, pineapple guava, blueberries, lychee nuts, olives, walnuts, almonds, and mushrooms. One customer even bought it to harvest coffee beans at his coffee farm in Kona, Hawaii.
- Slip a clipper holster on the belt to experience the true convenience of the Gardener's Hollow Leg. Clipper holsters by Felco or Corona are available in most garden centers and many hardware stores.
- To test how much weight the Leg will withstand, I bought a case of juice oranges and filled it to overflowing. The bag had 60 oranges and weighed 25 pounds and it showed no weaknesses. The manufacturer warrants the bag for 33 pounds (15 kilos).
- At least two customers have bought two bags each to speed their fruit harvesting. One was an apple grower, the other grew lychee nuts in Hawaii. By wearing two bags while on the ladder, they could put their "perfects" in one bag and their "blemisheds" in the other bag, thereby eliminating the step of sorting fruit when they got off the ladder.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I have wanted something like the Hollow Leg for YEARS - asked all the garden spots in my area (SF Peninsula) and they didn't even know what I was talking about! Obviously, they are "salesmen" and not "gardeners"!
I have about 50-60 potted plants that need dead-heading, pruning, and other TLC and I have had to drag a box alongside me to put the debris in. NO MORE!
Thank you again!

My sister gave me one of your Gardener's Hollow Legs for my birthday and I love it! I have a huge yard and it's such a
relief to strap on my Hollow Leg and do my weeding without having to schlep the heavy compost can around with me everywhere. It's a very cool invention and I look forward to many long Seattle summer afternoons of 3 legged gardening!

I received the "hollow leg" - and it's great!!! I plan to wear it at a few of my talks and in my garden. It's inventive, smart and it works!

The Gardener’s Hollow Leg arrived yesterday and I immediately opened it and strapped it on. My wife and I were both impressed by the professional look and durable construction - love the poppy logo. I proceeded through the garden for a general deadheading and cleanup. It worked great and made the whole task almost enjoyable.
I was amazed at how much I could stuff into it, and how much faster things went. I did more than I intended, until I filled the bag. I then easily emptied it into a 12 gallon container, which it filled by about 2/3 loosely packed. I give it an unqualified thumbs up!

I tested the Hollow Leg on my Persimmon harvest; it was great since it saved me countless trips up and down the ladder.

Last week I ordered the Hollow Leg and I received it Saturday. I used it quite a bit the first day while pruning some bushes. It also came in very handy for picking flowers and putting them in the Hollow Leg while picking more. The next day I used it to clean and prune my roses. I use to hate that job because of the mess I had to clean up afterward and now, I actually enjoyed it. This product is one of the best I've invested in to help me with my gardening and I couldn't do without now. Great product!!!
