Tool Time: the Lawn Bagg

Lawn BaggJust in time for spring clean-up: the Lawn Bagg.

I found this over-sized tote bag on display at the Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show in Baltimore earlier this month, and it seems just the ticket.

Though the bags come in a variety of sizes from lunch bag on up, this one holds one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) of debris and sells for about $40. It can stand up by itself while you're filling it. And when not in use, it folds to about the size of a folded bed sheet.

The bag is made of woven recycled plastic and it is puncture resistent. Unlike a tarp that could be used for gathering yard waste, this has handles. It can carry as much debris as you can drag to the curb or the compost pile.

I have one of these Baggs, and it's WONDERFUL, I'm in LOVE. I load it full of leaves in the fall, put it up on my flat-bed hand truck (a hand truck that lies down, as well as stands up), and roll it out to the curb to dump my leaves. No more struggling to drag a tarp full of leaves to the curb!

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
