I use a 2 ft wide heavy duty landscaping rake and attach chicken wire mesh to the back. I cut a 2 ft X 1ft rectangle out of the mesh. The mesh runs along the base of the tines of the rake and 12 inches up the pole of the rake. I drag the rake until I have enough leaves and then I follow through with the rake until the tines are pointing up thus catching the leaves in the mesh. I flip the rake over onto the dock and knock the leaves out.
