Abstract: Flat pieces of netting material are placed on the ground to catch leaves as they fall from nearby trees. When the leaves have fallen the net blanket is bundled up into a net package for disposal. The packages may or may not require a bag closure. A novel net bag closure for such packages is also disclosed. The bag closure also forms a handle for carrying the bundled leaf package. The net blankets may also be hung from trees to catch the leaves thereof before they reach the ground. The netting may be folded and then rolled onto a hollow tube for merchandising, with accessories contained in the hollow tube.
