I have just found out Aussie's call Weed wackers "whipper snippers".
My idea is to add a vacuum hose to rear portion of a weed wacker. The hose's intake will be large enough so that half of the circular shape of the weed wacking portion is covered by intake. The actual vaccuum will either be on
large wheels so that it can be carted around a garden or will be strapped on one's back. The two machines' power supplies will be seperate with both hopefully being gas or battery powered to reduce on the hassle of electrical cords.
Yep! - thats it!

What do the English call Weed Wackers? |

Pot pud pullers?
Back to the idea, I think your intakes will be too easily plugged. |

Of course, the straps would be fastened to your clothes, via whipper-snappers. |

I dunno, but here in the US, they're known as the Drug Enforcement Agency. |

I think that we call them 'Strimmers'. If I am right in thinking that I know what a Weed Whacker or a Whipper Snipper is.... |

In reference to [BrauBeaton]'s comment, the reason I put it in the back portion is so that it would prevent the cutting in the front and suck up the debris from the back. |

I've gotta side with [BrauBeaton] here...when these things cut, they spray grass all over the place, but mostly out the front and sides of the device. The vaccuum would need to be pretty substantial to suck it all back. |
