Larry Gardenour had worked for more than 20 years before a disk in his back became herniated. The injury resulted in surgery that limited his bending and stretching.
Relegated to home and yard, the injury limited the garden work he liked to do among the 11 gardens in his backyard, a turn of fate that gave him free time to do what he loved, but lacked the full mobility to do.
That is when he got the idea for the Collapsible Refuge Collection Apparatus, a lawn and garden bag named LG-BAGZ-IT, for which he was recently issued a patent.
“I came from back surgery and I was unable to do any lifting or moving around my flower gardens and my wife and I had always enjoyed yard work,” said Gardenour.
Gardenour developed LG-BAGZ-IT to enable people with a limited range of motion to work on their lawns and gardens.
The vinyl bag lays flat on the ground and enables a worker to rake leaves or materials into the bag, and two wheels on the back enable it to be picked up and carried away.
