David Williamson hated bagging leaves and grass clippings, so he decided to do something about it.
David's career path includes public school teacher, yard service operator, feed and seed store owner, real estate agent and now budding inventor. A native of Springhill, La., he's lived in Magnolia long enough to be considered a resident of L.A. He and his wife Kim have three grown children and three grandchildren. It was during his nearly 30 years of lawn service provider that he developed his disdain for bagging leaves.
"We would often blow them with blowers, rake them on to tarps or sweep them up after mowing," David told me, "but getting them into bags was the worst part!" In his younger days, David learned to pile the leaves up, hold the bag open with his feet and shove or rake them into the bag. It was back breaking and time consuming.
"In the yard service business, time is money," David told me. He needed a way to get the job done more quickly and with less effort. Enter the idea for his invention, which he has dubbed "My Ultimate Bagger". He built a prototype and with the aid of a friend found a company that would mass produce and box them for shipping. In a surprisingly fast process, he had a container full of the device waiting at the port to be unloaded.
David has learned a lot in the process, and he is still learning. Developing the idea for the product may have been the easiest part of the process. He's now working on marketing and publicity.
You can see the device in action on David's YouTube channel or visit his website, https://www.myultimatebagger.com/ to order one.
It's said when a better mousetrap is invented, the world will beat a path to it. Make way, world! A better bagging device has been invented! Take a listen to today's podcast and hear the next idea that Magnolia's budding inventor has in mind.
