Summer is the time when sweet berries ripen and it's time to pick them. When difficulties arise during work, a lingonberry harvester will help you, which you can make yourself. With this device, you can easily collect whole fruits from your garden. The process of making the device will not bring any difficulties, and harvesting will become very convenient and interesting.
Materials and construction
Such a self-made berry harvester is somewhat reminiscent of a scoop.
In order to make such a simple apparatus for small berries with your own hands, you need the most ordinary materials, tools that are in every home:
- Sheet steel;
- fasteners;
- tree branches;
- drill;
- metal wire.
The design of the device is quite simple, so you can easily make it. It will become simply irreplaceable in use. Now you can quickly and easily harvest the fruits of not only lingonberries, but also blueberries, cranberries and other berries (Fig. 1):
- The whole design of this device is a body with handles and a bottom. To prevent the berries from falling out again, a comb is provided.
- She has a special partition (Fig. 3), which facilitates the harvest in large quantities... The main advantage of this device is that the lingonberry does not spoil at all while it is being harvested.
- Before starting work, in addition, you need to purchase plywood or plastic, from which the main part is cut (Fig. 1). The rest is done with wire.
Manufacturing technique
- In order for the harvester for collecting berries to serve you for more than 1 year, you need to carefully carry out calculations, draw up all the drawings and diagrams, where the dimensions of all the parts of the device are described in detail.
- Then, using special scissors, cut out the body and the bottom of the combine from a metal piece (Fig. 2).
- Then proceed to the manufacture of parts for the comb, which is made of wire with a diameter of 3 mm. Prepare several of these pins no larger than 100 mm.
- Bend galvanized steel from one end, you get a rigid edge, at a distance of which a straight line is drawn, perpendicular to the long side of the plate.
- Make several holes, the diameter of which is equal to the caliber of the rods. They are located on the sides of the plate. The most suitable spacing between the teeth is 4 mm (Fig. 3).
- Bend the ends of the plate so that you get a side. The part prevents the picked berries from falling; insert the rods into the holes made and fix them wooden lath.
- The rods should be soldered to the base of the apparatus.
- The sides should be cut separately from the bottom of the structure, and their height is chosen as desired. The edges must be folded at right angles to the inside. The bottom is attached to the fold lines, and make rods on the sides to make the device a little stiffer.
- Use a small amount of galvanized steel to shape the handle. Release a few centimeters from the edges of the strip and bend it at an angle. Attach the handle to the top side of the part base. Another version of the handle can be made from a metal bar and welded.
- To avoid hurting your fingers, wrap everything with duct tape.
Now berry picking will not be a hassle.
Of course, metal devices are the most durable, but there are options for making a combine from other materials.

Other options for creating an apparatus
If you do not know what material to use for the combine, then pay attention to the wood. The manufacturing method is quite simple and practical. What you need:
- skewers for kebabs;
- large tree branches (the approximate diameter of the branches is 10-12 cm);
- saw;
- chisel;
- drill;
- drill;
- glue.
First, use a saw to make 2 identical circles from the branches. Then, using a chisel, make a hole on one wooden figure with an indent from the edges by 1 cm. The resulting parts must be properly sanded and get rid of splinters and burrs.
After that, move on to creating the comb. For this purpose, you will need a drill and drill, the diameter of which should match the caliber of the kebab sticks. Drill holes in the circle.
Optimal distance between the holes - no more than 5 mm, so that the berries do not fall to the ground during picking. When the holes in the first shape are ready, repeat the same with the second. Next, place one rounded piece on top of the other so that their holes line up. Using barbecue sticks, pull both figures apart at a distance of 15 cm and secure the frame with glue. The harvester is ready for collection (fig. 4).
The easiest way to assemble a harvester consists of a sturdy plastic bottle... For this design, you will also need a knife, stick, reins, etc.
Best suited containers are ketchup containers, which are known for their durability. Capacity for mineral water can quickly deteriorate. The bottle itself should be small size, with a large throat, so that you can easily get the picked berries.
Make marks on it, a small flag with a couple of teeth. By using sharp knife a hole is cut along the contour, after which the bottle is tied to a stick with a cord or fixed with tape.
Harvester for picking blueberries and lingonberries (video)
Harvester for picking berries, the device that will be discussed in this article. This is a scoop or comb, a special design of which is very well adapted for manual picking of berries in the forest.
The harvest of the forest was not harvested by hand in the old days. For this, there was a scoop for picking berries, which, of course, did it yourself. This special equipment was completely wooden. A little later, it could already be metal or combined.
Virtually nothing has changed since then, only the berry picking tray (lingonberry blueberry cranberry) has become more convenient. Moreover, you can order a harvester for collecting berries, and not go anywhere for it, especially since there is no need to tinker it yourself. This saves time and is convenient again.
Berry picking container - principle of operation and description
The berry collector is designed to remove forest berries from the bushes by hand. Its principle of operation is to detach the berries from the branches of the bush. These berries are usually:
- blueberry,
- cowberry,
- cranberry.
The process of separation itself is carried out with the help of teeth, with which it is necessary to pick up the berries, and pull the combine for collecting blueberries and lingonberries forward or upward. In principle, any other hand movement that is convenient in the current situation will do. The task is not so difficult that even children can cope with it. Therefore, there are children's devices on sale.
It is appropriate to highlight several characteristics, upon consideration of which, you can decide how to choose a harvester for picking berries. Thus, the main parts of the design of combines for collecting lingonberry will be highlighted and their description will be made.
The device for collecting blueberries and lingonberries consists of teeth and a ladle, into which the torn off fruits are rolled. In addition, the manual blueberry harvester is necessarily equipped with a handle. 
There are two types of elements for holding berry pickers in hand:
- the first option, when the handle is located on the upper part and a box with this type of device is used to pick berries from bushes growing higher. Although this characteristic of the bushes is less than correct. Since none of the above berries grows high. It will be more correctly said that it is located very low;
- therefore, the harvester for picking blueberries can be not only from the top with manual, but also elongated. And attached following the example of a flat cutter. That is, such a tool is used in cases where the picker does not have the desire or ability to bow low to each berry. Having firmly attached a handle, more often of wood than of any other material, the comb will already be called a rake for collecting lingonberries and blueberries. Still such devices, namely with a handle like a rake, are simply called a rake.
The teeth also have some variety. Looking at the products in the section containers for collecting berries, you will notice that they do not have the same appearance. What is the reason for this? Fastest with the nature of the growth of the berries themselves. Some of them ripen above the ground and are clearly visible. Others are level with the ground, and even hide under foliage and moss. Cranberries behave this way most quickly. That's why:
- located in the middle of the scoop. Its principle of action certainly will not allow the berries to wake up after they have entered the container;
- such a box is not faster than a device, but a convenient and efficient harvester for picking berries with a shutter. Which, with its inside damper, will prevent crop losses more than once. After all, it is not realistic to collect small, albeit bright berries that have rolled under the leaves and natural crevices on the ground;
- fasten in such a way that it opens freely in the middle. That is, at the slightest tilt, it simply sagged. And the berries were rolled into the apparatus. But when tilted in reverse side, that is, forward, a fruit picker with a flap for collecting blueberries and lingonberries will not be able to lose a single berry. That is, the flap will freely block the path for them to fall out.
And about the largest and no less important part in the design. The equipment of which is also arranged with a sense. It has both a cranberry comb and a blueberry picking tray. Is it a scapula or rectangular a detail in which intermediate portions of berries are collected. The scoop itself for collecting lingonberries and blueberries into which the fruits roll may be with a bottom:
- whole,
- with holes.
The fruit picker with a flap and holes at the bottom of the bucket is considered a versatile effective device for harvesting forest crops. What are such holes for? As it turned out, they perform a very important function. The thing is that during the described lesson, together with the berries, we get a lot of unnecessary particles in the form of leaves into the berry collector. As well as branches and other debris. Which in any case will have to be selected. And what is typical, whether a machine for collecting berries will do it or this operation will be done only with the help of hands, there will still be garbage. But the less the blueberry scoop accumulates, the less time it will then take to screen it out.
What else should you pay attention to if it's time to buy a manual berry harvester? Of course, on the material of its manufacture. The fastest way to find berry pickers on any website of the online store is:
- plastic. It is a lightweight and durable material,
- metal. It can be food grade steel with paint spraying. In terms of strength, it is naturally not inferior to plastic. But heavier in weight.
All designs of berry collectors present on Russian market, do not damage plants when applied. That is, after picking berries with their help, next spring the forest berry bushes will bloom again profusely. And in order for you and me to be able to feast on prepared vitamins in winter, of which there are many in lingonberries and other berry representatives, we will consider the rules for picking berries in the forest.
Why are lingonberries, blueberries and cranberries good for?
There is frankly a lot of information about how useful these fruits are. But since the presented type of product is directly related to its collection, let us recall some interesting details about forest gifts in the form of berries.
A treasure trove of useful properties that blueberries have:
- a large amount of vitamin C - our body will be able to resist many diseases. Some of them are colds in winter period;
- healthy nutrients can help improve vision. And constant use in food will serve prophylactic against impaired vision;
- useful fibers regulate the metabolism in the human body. People who eat blueberries will never have problems with digestion;
- the antioxidants present in the pulp help you stay healthy and young for longer.
Cranberry and its benefits:
- flavonoids, which strengthen the walls of blood vessels, reduce the risk of atherosclerosis;
- the genitourinary tract will be more protected from infections, as doctors say. In this case, it is necessary to drink a glass of natural cranberry juice without sugar every day;
- to maintain oral hygiene - a glass of cranberry juice. Proanthocyanidin will prevent the growth of bacteria in your mouth. No bacteria - no caries.
Useful properties of lingonberry are necessary for expectant mothers:
- the iron content allows you to save a pregnant child;
- help to relax nervous system, strengthen the immune system and prevent the development infectious processes;
- infusion of leaves relieves swelling, reduces pressure and strengthens blood vessels.
A fruit picker with a flap is always convenient to have when picking lingonberries in the forest. As can be seen from the described properties that forest gifts have, it is necessary to stock up on them to maintain health. To collect strawberries, you must also devote enough time. If there is an opportunity and desire, why not take advantage of the gifts of nature.
Harvesters for picking berries help not only to significantly facilitate the process of picking blueberries, lingonberries, cranberries and other berries, but also make this process as efficient as possible, reducing losses and shortening the time of events.
Users can choose both a production model and design a hand-held berry harvester with their own hands. The configurations of such devices are quite simple, and following the instructions, drawings, it is quite easy to create them.
Features of blueberry harvesters
Collecting blueberries is a laborious process, and care must be taken as the berries, although dense, can be easily damaged. Plastic containers or baskets are used, and it is not necessary to frequently move the crop from one reservoir to another.
Factory-made berry harvesters
The most common design is the scoop-shaped hand blueberry harvester. Despite the fact that it is extremely simple, the device speeds up the process three, four times. The cost of a blueberry harvester is not high, but you can find it in the household department, or in garden tools. The equipment is known to users under several names:
- Berry.
- Fruit picker.
- Berry harvester.
Design
- The capacity of the device looks like a parallelepiped.
- On the underside there are elongated bent teeth for combing out berries.
- The gap between the teeth is five, six millimeters.
The leafy branches easily pass between the cloves without being damaged, and the berries are plucked and sent to the back of the equipment. Among different models The berry harvester made in Finland is very popular. The body of homemade and factory products can be metal, plastic or wood. As for the teeth, they are almost always made of their wire.
How to make a DIY blueberry harvester?
A do-it-yourself blueberry harvester is just enough to make, for this you will need:
- Patterns of parts made of paper - two side walls and one back, bottom, handle, part with teeth.
- Place the pattern on the surface of the material from which the body will be made, circle and cut.
- Fasten all the components according to the diagram.
Using the drawings, it is quite simple to create a blueberry harvester with your own hands. You can use a wire for the teeth. After making several long loops, attach them to the bottom of the device.
Cranberry harvester
One of the most popular harvesters for harvesting cranberries is the Toropushka device. Manual fixture damages plants, ensuring a gentle and fast harvest. The device is equipped with a capacious storage sleeve into which plucked berries are sent. One hand movement is enough to pour them into the reservoir. If you want to make a popular do-it-yourself harvester for harvesting cranberries Toropushka, consider the drawings.
Design features:
- The cranberry harvester has solid metal baffles to prevent tangling of the plant tufts. This allows the grass and moss to escape without any problems, leaving the berries in the container.
- The springiness of the plates does not tear off the leaves from the branches.
- Thanks to the rounded shape of the device, the berries can be removed even from the recesses.
- The sleeve is made of fabric, which shortens the time for extracting berries - you need to lower the edge of the sleeve into the container.
Lingonberry harvester
A convenient and efficient manual lingonberry harvester was previously produced by domestic producers. Its configuration is similar to other berry attachments:
- The case is equipped with a handle.
- Bottom with a wire comb.
- A metal partition, located inside the manual berry harvester, overlapping the cross-section of the body, prevents accidental fall of the lingonberry.
- The partition is fixed in the side plates of the body in such a way that it can be easily rotated for access of berries directly into the harvester.
This design is often used to make do-it-yourself berry harvesters. Today, inexpensive models from durable plastic... Most often on the market you can find Finnish harvesters for picking berries, which have proven themselves to be excellent for working with various harvest volumes.
The subject of our discussion today is a harvester for collecting berries.
With the onset of the berry harvest, rarely does anyone resort to harvesting it only by hand. Berries such as cranberries, lingonberries or blueberries need to be quickly picked and transported to the processing site. In order to fulfill these requirements, a scoop is needed to collect lingonberries and blueberries. By the way, a scraper acting as a collector can be different designs... The material of manufacture can be different. What is the best handheld berry picker to use? Which berries are best suited for? What is the difference between a blueberry picker and a cranberry scoop? There are a lot of questions related to this topic. Therefore, we will begin to answer them.
Berry picking container - description and general characteristics
If anyone communicated with professional berry pickers, he could notice that the berry picking tray (lingonberry, blueberry, cranberry) is their faithful friend and helper. These are people who annually walk many kilometers, not always along convenient paths. But they always take a scoop for picking berries with them. There are several important reasons for this. The berry picker increases productivity. And that's why:
- the lingonberry and blueberry rake reduces stress on the spine. For those berry growers who have a weak back, such a device will become a lifesaver;
- The plastic picker with a flap for collecting blueberries and lingonberries weighs very little. When working with him, your hands do not get so tired.
What is a hand tool for picking berries
First of all, it should be noted that in the common people this inventory is called differently. Its name depends on the area where such fortified plants grow. These places are sometimes located at times in hard-to-reach, but beautiful places... Therefore, a blueberry scoop may have the following names:
If you heard one of these words in a conversation about picking berries, you should know that the topic of conversation is a device for picking blueberries and lingonberries or some other berries.
There are many more amazing and beautiful names may have this equipment. What kind can this container be? What material is it most often made of?
As you can see from the names, each such container resembles a small box. Its dimensions are almost standard and for long time evolution, all unnecessary elements in it have gone into the distant past. Now each such device consists only of:
- bunker,
- teeth,
- pens.
Usually a blueberry and lingonberry harvester is not made from a solid material. That is, we are talking about a bunker. So that such debris as leaves and small dry pieces of twigs are not in it, slots are made at the bottom and sides of the hopper. Moreover, such a size that the berries themselves would not wake up. The same can be said about the distance between the teeth. Everything is thought out so that the berries remain in the harvester, and the garbage is sifted as much as possible during the collection process.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that there is not a big, but very important difference between a scoop or ladle and a container. A bucket is an open apparatus or container. The container has a closed top.
As seen from listed names Sometimes the blueberry picker is called a rake. This is because they attach to it long handle... That allows not to make deep torso bends during the collection process. Again, very convenient.
Still very important detail... The name of the device Fruit picker for picking berries with a shutter is another new word. What does a flap picker mean? And what is it for?
When the device has a baffle in the middle, which turns freely when the angle of inclination is changed, this is a combine. And the partition plays the role of a damper that does not allow berries to wake up on the ground, with an inclined picker with its teeth down. That is why a harvester for picking berries with a shutter is appreciated by professionals more than a simple comb.
And one more characteristic is the material of manufacture. Blueberry pickers and other pickers come from:
- plastic,
- metal (steel),
- wood.
For the manufacture of berry pickers, galvanized food steel is used. Also, as one of the options, a wooden case - metal teeth.
Each of the designs has its own pros and cons:
If your children also take part in the campaigns for the harvest of useful vitamins, then special plastic fruit collectors have been released for them.
Apart from how to choose a berry harvester, there is not much information about the fruits themselves.
Time and rules for picking berries in the forest
In order to successfully go for berries for the first time, you need to go with the already experienced berries. But it doesn’t hurt a lot of information about the plants themselves and how to collect them correctly.
One of the first rules to know:
And that's why. When the berry grows low near the ground, you can hook the ground by prying it with a scoop. If the branches of the bush are strongly intertwined, the sharp teeth will be difficult to free when combing. And the collector will be full of leaves and bits of other foreign matter.
More about cranberries
One of the most useful berries. One phrase cranberry juice evokes associations associated with vitamins and healthy food. And in confirmation of the fact that all the most useful and correct is not easy to get, cranberries grow in wetlands and it is not easy to collect them. Even after getting into a cranberry meadow, it is difficult to determine at first glance how many berries there are. Since cranberries often hide under densely intertwined branches flush with the soil. Therefore, in order to get them all, you need to work hard. This is where a cranberry harvester is needed.
More about blueberries
How useful blueberries are has long been known not only in Russia, but throughout Europe. But the largest territories on which it grows are located in Russia. And yet, it does not grow in the south. It is a thermophilic but northern plant. Its beneficial properties have always been appreciated. Therefore, for healthy and clean blueberries, you need to go into the forest and collect them with a fruit collector.
More about lingonberry
Coniferous forests, rarely deciduous ones, can boast that such a storehouse of vitamins grows on their territories. Altai Territory and Novosibirsk Region, the places where it grows. There are many who want to follow her here, and there is enough for everyone. One has only to buy a manual harvester for collecting lingonberries, and go. Ripens by September and grows on low-growing bushes.
But you don't have to go far to collect strawberries. It grows in forests and on sunny, hilly slopes.
There was a time when the fruit collector for berries was made by hand. But today there is no need to waste time on this.
The manual berry picker does not damage the berry bushes if used correctly. Therefore, ordering a harvester for picking berries and buying it will be the right decision, if you go for such fruits this berry season. You can buy a manual harvester for picking blueberries and other berries in the online store. You don't even need to travel far. This is our 21st century.
It's time to pick berries, a great time to stock up on vitamins for the winter.
To make the harvesting process faster, you will need a berry harvester. With its help, you will not need to bend over every lingonberry or blueberry. But if a manual berry harvester has not yet been purchased, then you must first choose it. And due to the specificity and special characteristics of the principle of their action, you also need to know how to choose a harvester for picking berries. A special blueberry harvester looks nothing like a cranberry harvester. It is rare when you can combine them. Therefore, it is better to understand the specifics of their designs. Which bucket is suitable for picking which berries. And the rules for picking berries in the forest? You need to know the same. Since different berries grow, which one is on the bush, and which one is closer to the ground. Therefore, the scraper in different situations need different.
What designs is there a device adapted for picking berries. And what material is it made of? Let's figure it out.
Equipment for collecting various varieties of berries (classification)
If you do not complicate with the classification of this type of devices, then they can be divided into 3 types.
1. Scoops, the simplest kind of fixtures. The blueberry scoop is a regular household scoop design. Only its edge is not even, but jagged. They are an indispensable part of the fixture. Since with their help the berries themselves rise above the ground and break off from the stems.
2. Rake or rake. The difference between them and the scoops is that here the handle is adapted for attaching the rod. The rake for collecting lingonberry and blueberry resembles in its appearance the usual, only small garden rakes. Hence the name. The handle lengthened in this way allows the person picking lingonberries or blueberries not to bend low.
3. Combine, this closed version scoop. Only in the middle, to prevent the berries from spilling out, a damper is placed. The overall design of the combine looks like a hopper with a closing and opening door. The harvester for picking berries with a shutter is the most convenient and practical of all types of picking devices on the market.
Manufacturing material
Based on the materials from which the devices are made, the device for berries can be:
- polymeric
- natural.
Polymeric includes plastic.
To natural:
- wooden,
- metal.
The sizes of the fixtures are different in width and height. And also by weight. In addition, specially colorfully decorated scoops are sold for children. If parents took their children with them to pick cranberries or blueberries, then they should also be interested in doing this.
Advantages and disadvantages of one and the other
The wooden scoop is environmentally friendly. But its prongs often break. Steel is of course a very durable material, but the metal harvester is quite heavy.
When you need a berry picking tray (lingonberry blueberry cranberry), strawberry
If the harvest is good, then the manual harvesting period can be delayed. Of course, you can handle small plantations manually, but if time does not wait, and the harvest is large, then:
- without faithful helper not enough. And this is a harvester for picking blueberries and lingonberries and cranberries;
- very convenient devices that are developed based on the knowledge and experience of specialists. People who have more than one year of boxing in their hands, and for harvesting;
- speed at handmade very little. A scoop for picking berries helps to speed it up several times;
- having felt the difference at least once, any of us will rush to order a harvester for picking berries.
When harvesting what berries do you usually need a comb to help with? Where and how do they grow? And most importantly, when do they ripen? These are not the vitamins that grow in the garden beds.
How blueberries grow and when ripen
It grows both in the forest-steppe zone and in the tundra. Beginning with Western Europe and ending eastern Siberia... A very low shrub, up to 50 centimeters high. This is a rather stunted plant. And to bend over each ripe berry does not always have enough strength. This is where you need a device for picking blueberries.
The first difference from cranberries and lingonberries is that blueberries drop their leaves for the winter. Her not bright flowers appear in early May.
And if there are no frosts by the end of this month, the beginning of June, then you can count on a good harvest. Then we need a blueberry collector. The berries begin to ripen by the end of July. And by this time the blueberry picking tray should have already been purchased.
How to use a blueberry harvester
During the collection, first of all, the weather should be dry, not hot. And as soon as the morning dew has disappeared, you can proceed.
It is not for nothing that the device for collecting blueberries and lingonberries is combined into one in the name common tool... Since the manual blueberry harvester is also suitable for harvesting lingonberries. And has general form as shown in the photo.
Very often, food lovers healthy berry ask the question: "Why is it called by the word whose root is black, that is, black?" After all, it is dark blue in color. And only the one who has been holding a picker with a flap for picking blueberries and lingonberries all day can clearly answer this question. The whole secret is in black spots on the hands, left by crushed blueberries.
How does lingonberry grow and when it ripens
It is forever green up to 20 centimeters perennial shrub... Its age can be up to 300 years. On the upper part of such a bush, lingonberries ripen in small clusters. This happens from mid-August to early September.
If the lingonberry pleases good harvest, a machine for picking berries will just be by the way. After all, this is hard work, bending over a 20-centimeter bush for a few berries.
How to use the lingonberry collection container
Please note that:
- even using a combine harvester for collecting lingonberries, you should not start collecting them before they are fully ripe;
- a not quite ripe berry, a scoop for collecting lingonberries and blueberries will not hurt at all. But ripening not on a bush, it will acquire a sour bitter taste;
- spoil earlier than usual;
- if a lot of leaves and other small debris have accumulated in the box, then this is not a problem. He will be eliminated if he winds what he has collected in the wind;
- this must be done with freshly picked berries. Raise the container a little higher, catch a small stream of breeze, and only berries will fall into the container for transportation.
Important information about lingonberry
In addition to the fruits themselves, its leaves have a fairly useful properties... And those leaves that have fallen into the blueberry fruit collector can be used for making tea. Such a drink will restore strength and invigorate.
How does cranberry grow and when it ripens
On the territory of Russia, mainly common cranberry grows. It grows in swamps in the north of the European part of Russia. And also in Kamchatka and in the eastern and western Siberia... It can also be found in swampy forests, tundra and forest-tundra. These are the areas where almost every second local resident has a fruit picker with a cranberry picker. A shovel or bucket is an integral part of their life. If such a scoop becomes unusable, then a new one is immediately bought.
The cranberry is a short, evergreen bush. With tiny leaves and thin creeping strong stems. Large oblong cranberries are poured and ripen at the end of August. They become so heavy that they can hardly be held in the bushes. This is the time the cranberry scallop is the most necessary item. In order not to miss the collection time, when the cranberries may be lying on the moss, then not only the comb, any container or equipment will turn out to be by the way.
How to use a fruit picker for picking berries with a shutter
The container for collecting cranberries is designed in a completely different way than the collector for lingonberries and blueberries. This is an adaptation, in the design of which the dividing rods are arranged in a completely different way. This can be seen in the photo.
Features of collecting strawberries
The first strawberries ripen in places open to direct sunlight. You can start collecting it in the morning, but after the sun has dried the dew. For collection, it is better to adapt a small scoop. Since this berry is very soft, in large capacity may shrink under weight. Unfortunately special devices it is not for collecting strawberries. For this, adapt the fruit pickers intended for blueberries or lingonberries.
A fruit picker with a flap can be purchased in our online store. The assortment also includes other devices of this orientation.
