How to Separate Leaves & Pecans
- 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.
