| Compost It! Bags: New Design, Same Capacity: You may soon notice that the Compost It! bags at the store look a bit different than they did previously. The difference is in the design. The new Compost It! bags are shorter and wider, making them easier to fill and use with other yard equipment such as bagger mowers and rakes. |
