    I always seem to miss a few of those annual weeds with millions of seeds, and there goes the neighborhood when trying to pull them out. Sure would be nice to have a weed seed vacuum that would suck up all those seeds before pulling them. Is there anything like that out there?

    LOL!!!!I was just wishing the very same thing the other day for the very same reason. There is a leaf/lawn vacuum, called little wonder. They offer 0% financing so I am assuming it must be beyond my budget for a yard tool.

    That would be nice, but if it has to be financed it is beyond my means too. And my field is so full of weeds, it likely wouldnt do much good. :rolleyes:

    Heck, I was just thinking about connecting my wet vac, ($25 bucks on sale at Lowe's) to a very long extention cord. Wondering if anyone actually has done this.

    I'm going to use our ShopVac without the filter to vacuum leaves off the porch and driveway this fall. But I don't think it has enough suction power to pull weeds out of this black clay when it's dry. :(

    I was thinking just to suck up all the seeds that fall onto the ground, before tilling them in. not vacuuming up the whole plant. I don't think that would work, either.

    Hmmm... I do have a shop vac, only paid $10 for it at a yard sale. I never thought of vacuuming the leaves up. I just mulch them into the lawn with my mower or rake them up to mulch elsewhere when I need them.
