GardmanR622 Pop-Up Garden Tidy Large, 18" Wide x 24" High

I use this barrel mainly for weeds and other garden refuse that is destined for the "wood pile" at the edge of the woods. I have an older one with broken handles that I leave outside next to the wood pile for when I'm weeding nearby. My "good" barrel stays in the shed when I'm not using it. I let it fill up before emptying it on the wood pile. This is the only brand I've tried but can't find it in the stores now and even had a hard time finding it online. The other similar products I saw did not have long handles. The handles are key because I can carry it with one hand and use the other hand for something else. My current barrel has not been as sturdy as previous ones because the wire popped out of the top. I have a wine cork on it so it won't put my eye out. The one I just bought is still unused but I did open it and the difference is it is "oil cloth" lined. The handles are also a tiny bit shorter but I can still manage to hold them both in one hand. I use each barrel for at least 2-3 years, maybe longer. My other use is for collecting the neighbor's oak leaves every fall which I dump in a leaf pile or in a trunk for future use as mulch or to add into the composter.

First, I bought the Fiskars 30 gallon - It was big, but the 30-33 gallon trash bags didn't fit around the edges. (I gave it to a neighbor who has a much bigger yard and doesn't use trash bags inside it.) Then, I bought the Fiskars 10 gallon - the bag fit inside and around the sides, but it was too small for the "Leaf Claws" dumping in a load of leaves. (I will keep it, as it's a nice small size to transport my car washing supplies, from storage area to car to laundry room. Previously, I just laid all the towels & cleaning products around on the ground.) This Gardnan large tidy bag, is a couple inches wider than the Fiskars 10 gallon - so when I use my Leaf Claws, the leaves fall into the bag instead of drifting outside the bag. I love using the Leaf Claws which pick up leaves, wet or dry, plus pine needles, acorns, and other small muddy debris while being easier on your back. I appreciate reading other customer reviews - one person wrote that he used a couple of binder clips to keep the inside trash bag up & around the outside of the Gardman bag. As you fill the trash bag, it pulls down from the weight so then wet, muddy debris gets inside. Using a couple of binder clips solves that problem. Yay❣ From other reviews, I don't drag it around to hopefully save the bottom from wearing out & getting holes. I'm much better equipped (with this Gardman tidy garden bag, the Leaf Claws, a Black & Decker LSW20 blower, shrub rake, and long garden gloves) to keep up with Leaf Season this year. Photos are the Before and After next to my patio. Feels great, being 68 years young & a woman without a lot of physical strength, to be able to enjoy being outside like this. Having the proper tools makes all the difference‼️

The handles are not a sturdy as I'd like. Had to sew them back on with heavy duty thread.

I bought this Jumbo Gardman to replace a slightly smaller one I had used for years and simply loved. I decided to buy a bigger one because the large-sized Gardman I had used for years didn't hold as much as I wanted. I thought I would love the jumbo size. If I used it for collecting leaves and other light-weight trash, I would actually love it but since I use it mostly for weeding my yard, I find that if I fill it up, I can't easily dump it into my larger garbage can as it becomes so heavy. So I'm finding myself emptying it after it is about 1/3 full so I guess I should have just bought the smaller size that I had before. This is a quality item that will last and last through lots of abuse.

I love these collapsible yardwaste barrels - they're so much easier to stuff with leaves and grass clippings than paper bags. They hold up reasonably well (don't drag them!!), and the Amazon price is much more reasonable than the list price. There's probably still not much cost saving over paper (unless you throw your paper bags out after a couple of uses, as it looks like some of my neighbors do), but the convenience is worth it to me! I've found a mix of this size and larger ones works well - I can use the smaller ones to fill the larger, and then stack the smaller on top of or among the larger for transport in my car and for storage. So when you're ordering, pay attention to the actual measurements.

These garden trash containers are perfect for pulling around the yard while doing gardening.Not too big, not too small ……. Just right. Lightweight yet sturdy.

I'm using this as a cloth hamper to bring my laundry up and down stairs, I'm sure this one will hold up compared to other collapsible hampers. When they wear, and the wire start poking through.

It’s lightweight. It’s easy to move around. The capacity is just about right
