3.0 out of 5 stars
OK, August 27, 2008
This review is from: Vertex GB751 Deluxe Lawn and Leaf Bag (Lawn & Patio)
I bought it as I'm weeding my flower bed and wanted to be able to throw the weeds into the bag more easily. When I used a trash can, I could barely pull the bag from the can, so i thought this would be easier to remove the full bag - thought I could just loosen the corners and it would just drop, which was the problem. I tried putting a trash bag inside as suggested and as soon as I had alittle weight in it, the bag fell inside, so not practicle. I also tried clothes pins (4), but again as soon as some weight was in bag, the pins snapped off and the bag fell. I tried the green bag by itself, but it also fell after some weight got in it, plus I then had to dump from the green bag to a trash bag, which defeated the reason why I got it in the 1st place. I finally went back to laying the bag on the ground and stuffing it. Maybe it will work better with dry leaves (not as much weight), but since the leaves have not fell yet, have not got to try it on leaves yet. It is a great idea - just didn't work for what I wanted.

Excellent for Fall Cleanup, September 20, 2009
This review is from: Vertex GB751 Deluxe Lawn and Leaf Bag (Lawn & Patio)
I have no idea why so many reviewers have had such problems using this. I have owned one for about 3 or4 years now and am buying another to use solely out back. My house is a corner lot and surrounded by huge deciduous trees. Every fall the leaves drop and literally cover every surface on our property. I have found that if I use this bag holder and a pair of the Lawn/Leaf Scoops that the job of fall cleanup is much easier. Not to mention much quicker. I can do it alone without having to pull out the leaf blower or my husband. You do need to head for the home store and buy a box of Contractor Grade trash bags though. They are heavy and very tough and worth the extra few bucks. The cheap, every day trash bags won't stand up in this holder and will just puncture and tear when adding waste. Do not use the holder without adding a trash bag.

Works great and even better with a little help, March 17, 2011
This review is from: Vertex GB751 Deluxe Lawn and Leaf Bag (Lawn & Patio)
Length:: 1:41 Mins
These are so handy this is the second one I've bought. I wanted to post a video of the newer one, along with some suggestions about how I've made it work better, before it got soiled from use.
In the video I mention a 17" board and anything about that long will work fine. You could even get by with some PVC piping or part of an old broom handle. I also mention BongoTies Bag Of 10 Cable Ties. These are great to have around and you could make due with any heavy duty rubberbands.
Bottom line: This is sturdy, well made, light weight, useful for a number of things, and doesn't take up much space when I'm not using it.
BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews, accompanied by detailed videos, can take the place of first-hand experiences that are often lacking in online shopping. I've always appreciated the help I've received from other reviewers and try to return the favor as best as I can. I hope you found this review helpful and the video at least entertaining. If there was anything you thought was lacking or unclear leave a comment and I'll do what I can to fix it.
