So the glass table outside of my house got shattered by the wind and there is little pieces of glass everywhere. Its on the lawn so its hard to get so I was wondering if anyone had any idea of an easy way to get it out? Thanx in advance

I don't know how much glass you're talking about, but if its not a whole lot, try wrapping some duct tape sticky side out on a paint roller.

Rake might work, but that duct tape idea sounds pretty good.

Vacuum ? I'm not sure how big the big pieces are but vacuum can pick up the small pieces.

Or if you have a hose on the vacuum, that might work better. (Sorry if that's what you originally meant )

Burn it, move, and start over fresh in a new land.

Just have a block party with some theme where guests can't wear shoes. They'll find it all.

Bad idea to MOW over BROKEN GLASS. Mowers spit rocks and stuff easily. Imagine glass hitting your legs, etc.
Nah, rake or use a shop vac. The tape would work to a point but once it gets dirt and other junk its gonna be useless. Plus, it will rip up the grass as well.

I think that might be the only concrete way to get it all. Get a sod knife, cut the affected area and remove the grass. You'll have to reseed, but that won't cost much, as opposed to testing out your tetanus innoculation and getting stitches.

edit: if you do it right, you can just roll up the sod strip and cart it away, glass and all.

bang your ex on the lawn...of course the point is for glass to be rammed up her ass assuming you're on top...then again, you might like glass up your ass, so it's your call
