  • Patent number: 11667466
    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.

  • Publication number: 20060282321
    Abstract: In a method of bulk soil order entry, delivery and marketing, an order for bulk soil bags is received and recorded, along with a delivery address. Each bag has a re-closable top portion, and an outer surface having promotional indicia thereon. The bags are loaded onto a truck bed and transported to the delivery address. A system for delivering bulk soil also includes a forklift that is mounted on the truck during transport. The forklift is removable therefrom at the delivery address and has forklift tines that lift the bags from the truck bed by their carry straps. At the delivery address, the bags are thereafter precisely placed at a customer-specified location. Each bag is positioned with its promotional indicia outwardly displayed, in substantially unobstructed relation, from the truck bed and/or the customer-specified location.
