As everyone knows, we need to take care of the environment just a little bit better, thought this was an interesting product that some of you I hope may consider using. We use bags by biobag at the company I work for and just think its an amazing product which can create a difference.

Try to check around for comments by a user if possible. Ten years ago I was a test gardener for this product. This and a previous product was not satisfactory as they did not break down in one seasons use. They had to be removed by hand so there went the time savings so well advertised. If run over by either front end tillers or rear end tillers the super mess of the season appeared within three steps. I informed them of the monster product which was my duty. All of a sudden my opinions and discoveries were no longer needed. I was not fired...just dropped form the test gardner opportunity list. Perhaps they have licked those ugly factors....but I would want to know 100% for sure before I covered a very large patch with this or any similar product. My advise again....try to talk to a user and not the salesman. :)))

This happens with the majority of manufacturer-financed types of studies: They simply only want possitive feedback - not much neg. feedback.

Similar thing has happened with my microbial product evaluation study. One company specifically asked for their product to NOT be included since "if no increased production is shown, and this is published, then gardners will say it doesn't work"... As one of the Dr's that is acting as consultant on this study said "who cares what the companies WANT, if the researcher purchases the product they don't NEED permission. Just run the study completely unbiased and to the highest specs."

So, I'd only believe the word/studies that are done by unbiased places like Universities and Consumer Reports.
