A leaf blower proves key in separating leaves from pecans.
Unless you put a tarp under your pecan trees to catch the nuts as they fall, you'll end up with a collection of leaves and pecans littered on the ground. Rather than crawl around in the leaves while hunting for pecans to gather, you can effectively separate the leaves from the pecans. Once you've banished the leaves, the pecans prove easy to see and pick up off the ground.
Instructions
1. Plug a heavy-duty extension cord into an outside outlet that's close to the leaves and pecans. Plug the cord of the leaf blower into the extension cord. Or use a cordless leaf blower. Turn on the leaf blower.
2. Blow the leaves away from the pecans, making a separate pile and uncovering the nuts. Keep blowing the leaves away until you have separated the majority of them from the pecans.
3. Hold the handle of a pecan roller and roll it along the ground to pick up the pecans. The springs on the wire basket will separate and allow the nuts into the device.
4. Hold the filled basket over a bucket and release the dumping mechanism. The release procedures will vary by manufacturer. The nuts will fall into the bucket.
