Patent ID: 7415795

Claim:
A method for assembling a receptacle for catching shrub cuttings, comprising: providing a first frame assembly and a second frame assembly, each of the first and second frame assemblies having a first side, a spatially disposed second side, a distal side, a bottom having a front edge spatially disposed from the distal side, and a perforated cutout area substantially centrally disposed in the bottom between the first side and the second side and extending inwardly a selected distance from the front edge of the bottom toward the distal side, the first, second, and distal sides each defining a planar wall extending upward from and in a normal relationship to the bottom, the first, second, and distal sides cooperating with the bottom to define a catching area, the bottom of the first frame assembly having a longer front edge than the bottom of the second frame assembly such that the second frame assembly may be telescopically positioned within at least a portion of the first frame assembly; positioning the first frame assembly on a supporting surface such that a trunk of a shrub is positioned substantially adjacent the front edge of the first frame assembly whereby the first frame assembly extends outwardly from the trunk of the shrub; and positioning the second frame assembly on the supporting surface such that the front edge of the bottom of the second frame assembly is disposed in a facing relationship with the front edge of the bottom of the first frame assembly and substantially adjacent the trunk of the shrub whereby the second frame assembly extends outwardly from the trunk of the shrub and the distal sides of the first frame assembly and the second frame assembly being remote from one another.
