Collect walnuts

Almost every year, my walnut tree is full of nuts. I used to pick them up individually, then put them together for a few years, but now I have found the ultimate way for me to collect nuts.

When the first walnuts fall, I spread old-fashioned old-fashioned stores under my tree, which I can then grab along the edges if it's worth it and empty the resulting "nut and leaf sack" into a container. This must still be sorted out - foliage and the bowls are there, of course - but that's a pleasant work, which I like to do on beautiful late summer days. B. done at the garden table while sitting.

Stores or fine nets are recommended because they are - unlike foils

  1. Let rainwater through and the nuts are not in the water,
  2. Let light through, and therefore do not damage grass or other things,
  3. Let the wind through, it dries up again on beautiful autumn days, and
  4. Not susceptible to wind, d. H. a stone at each corner is enough for the fortification - even larger storms are easily overcome with this wind-permeable material.

Incidentally, I save the collapse of much of the foliage. By the way, old stores were in my neighbor and relatives in quantities!
