Picking up spent pellets from the garden?
How do you collect spent pellets from the lawn or garden?
The ones that bounced off the back stop, out of the catcher, or missed?
Rake? Scrape with hoe? Broom and pan? Vacuum cleaner?
The motor mower might lift them but the cuttings go in the compost, the pellets would have to be riddled out, too much work.
I'm looking for an easy solution. I'm somewhat disabled so bending down and picking them up is so not an option.

Place an old piece of carpet twixt the target and backstop, the pellets go through the carpet but will not bounce back through it. You end up with nice neat pile of lead bits that are easily collected.

Thank you.Originally Posted by Portzy
That is not the problem but the pellets that are now lying on what passes for a lawn.
Back stop is not the entire answer, yes it would be nice if all the pellets stopped there. Most of them to go into the catcher or fall to the ground right there. They can be tipped out or dust pan and brush easily enough.
The problem is the ones that maybe pinged off a spinner into another dimension. Certainly for me, crawling about on the ground is not an option, I could be stuck there for hours
How does one collect (that word in the search bring up a whole other topic, apparently some folks do collect pellets) together and pick up spent pellets that are not where they should be.
I'm happy with mine
ive never really bothered my self

Easy solution do nothing, next easiest peg out a sheet before you start to catch any that bounce out of the stop.
Unless you crawl around on all fours feeling for them, they're too small to collect.
Catch what you can in your backstop / catcher, forget the rest.
Other thing is to build a decent backstop designed to catch them by angling them in to a specific area.
