Abstract:
A container includes a robust semi-rigid main bag, a tarpaulin top section, and ties on the main bag. The main bag has a base and side panels for containing bulk garden products. The top section engages an upper portion of the main bag and has an opening. When open, it enables access into the main bag. When selectively closed, the top section protects the bulk garden products against outside elements. The ties can selectively tie down the top section and enable clear and ready access into the main bag containing the bulk garden products. Ties located about midway down the main bag, after it has been emptied of about half the bulk garden products, can also selectively tie down the upper portion for continued clear and ready access to any bulk garden products that then remain in the main bag.
