pls advise on how to order or purchase magic ring as I cannot locate one locally to purchase and I used my neighbors and am very pleased with it. Thanks.

Have you tried a product called the Magic Ring Paper Yard Waste Bag Opener and Support device? It looks real simple but it really does work. Helps open the Paper Yard Waste Bag and Keep it open.

Another solution for easier bagging… I absolutely love my Troy Bilt leaf vacuum! What a great time saver & one of the best purchases I ever made. At first I was a bit frustrated with bagging the leaves, but I came up with a great solution: After the vacuum bag fills, I dump the leaves onto a small tarp, then just pick up the tarp & ‘funnel’ them into the paper leaf bags. This works best if you have one of those plastic inserts used to hold the paper bags open. This method made my yard clean-up go so much faster. Good luck.

John,

That LawnBagBuddy looks like a decent idea, but it’s just a piece of cardboard that’s cut to size. I have lots of old boxes hanging around, so I might try cutting one down a little bit to fit inside the paper leaf bag and use that to keep the bag open. LawnBagBuddy wants about $15 for a piece of cardboard that I’m betting most people have available for free. If I try it this fall I’ll post photos! Thanks!

Good tips but I always tear when filling with small branches. I found a bag holder online that I purchased and it does the trick! It is called Lawn Bag Buddy. It is made for the paper lawn bag only. The way it is designed allows you to dump your mower bag into the lawn bag without spilling. It also allows you to lay the bag on the ground and rake in. For the price I think it works great. Their website is lawnbagbuddy.com

New home owner (with an achey back.) I was searching online to see if any local stores carried a bag holder until I came across this article. Going to give it a go (with plastic bags). Thanks for the tip!
