[0023] The following detailed description includes the best currently contemplated mode or modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention will be best defined by the allowed claims of any resulting patent.

[0024] The present invention is directed to a novel bag for organic composites used in landscaping and gardening. Shown in FIG. 1 is a front view of the bag 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The bag 100 comprises a bag body 110 having a front side, a rear side, a top side 120, a bottom side 130, a left side and a right side. The front side, the rear side, the top side 120, the bottom side 130, the left side, and the right side forms a volume of the bag body 110. Further shown in the FIG. 1 are multiple perforations 140 near the top-side 120. The perforations 140 having a diameter to allow a controlled flow of organic matter from the bag 100. A strip 150 is removably and sealably coupled over the perforations to temporarily close the perforations for storage and transport. The strip 150 has an extension that can be grabbed between the finger to pull out the strip 150 from the bag body 110, thus exposing the perforations 140. Further can be seen in FIG. 1 are two handles, a first handle 160 on the right side of the bag body and a second handle 170 on bottom side 130 of the bag body 110.

[0025] The bag 100 can be made of strong polymeric material, and the bag 100 having a volume to hold between 2 and 4 cubic feet of organic matter. Preferably, the bag 100 is designed to contain mulch and the perforations 140 are configured to allow the controlled flow of mulch from the bag 100. The handles allow a user to lift the bag 100. The bag 100 having at least two handles, wherein one of the handles is used to invert the bag 100 while the other handle is used to turn the bag 100 in the intended direction. The position of handles allows the user to turn the bag 100 in a direction in which the contents of the bag 100 are to be poured. This allows the user to stand upright while pouring the mulch, and further allows the user to direct the contents precisely where intended. Thus, the user does not have to bend repeatedly and over a long time to guide the mulch by hand. Thus, reducing the strain placed on the body during mulching.

[0026] FIG. 2 is a right-side view of the bag 100, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The bag 100 having the bag body 110, the bag body having a top side 120 and a bottom side 120. FIG. 2 shows a clear view of the handle in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The handle 160 is shown by a rectangular shaded area. The handle 160 is having a rectangular opening (non-shaded area) for inserting hand and gripping the handle 160. The handle 160 is fixedly coupled to the bag body 110 at its top side. The opposite free side of the handle 160 is temporary and removably coupled to the bag body 110 through a strip 180. The strip 180 can have an extension to be grabbed between fingers to pull out the strip 180, releasing the handle 160. Thus, during use, the strip 180 can be removed to release the handles and the handle can then be grabbed to lift the bag 100. The handles are made of plastic material and are a flap of plastic material which lays against the bag body 110 through the strip 180.

[0027] Position of handles shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 allows a user to lift the bag 100. The second handle 170 can be used to tilt and invert the bag to pour the contents of the bag 100. While, the first handle 160 can be used to turn the bag 100 in the intended direction, thus directing the flow of the contents of the bag 100 at the intended site. Although FIG. 2 shows the position of handles 160 and 170 on the right side and the bottom side 170 respectively, it is within the scope of the present invention that the handles can be coupled to the bag body 110 at different positions than shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. For example, FIG. 3 shows the two handles 160 and 170 both on the right side of the bag body 110, one above another spaced at a distance. FIG. 4 shows the first handle 160 coupled at the top-front side of the bag body 110. While the second handle 170 is coupled at the bottom side 170 of the bag body 110. FIG. 5 shows both the first handle 160 and the second handle 170 are coupled on the front side of the bag body 110, one over another, and spaced at a distance.

[0028] FIG. 6 shows an alternate embodiment of the bag 100, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 shows the top view of the bag 100. The bag 100 having the bag body 110, the handle 160 coupled on side of the bag body 110. The top side of the bag body 110 is having multiple perforations 140. The perforations 140 having a diameter to allow controlled flow of organic matter contained in the bag. A strip 150 is removably and sealably coupled over the perforations to temporarily close the perforations for storage and transport. The strip 150 has an extension that can be grabbed between the finger to pull out the strip from the bag body 110, thus exposing the perforations 140.

[0029] While the foregoing written description of the invention enables one of ordinary skill to make and use what is considered presently to be the best mode thereof, those of ordinary skill will understand and appreciate the existence of variations, combinations, and equivalents of the specific embodiment, method, and examples herein. The invention should therefore not be limited by the above-described embodiment, method, and examples, but by all embodiments and methods within the scope and spirit of the invention as claimed.
