Jim-Gem "Planter's Choice Single Round Tree Planting Bag, 12" x 15"

I cannot say enough about the quality of the bags themselves. They are made from exceptional material and I’ve no doubt they will last for many, many years. The buckle which secures the belt is a different story. While the buckle seems to be made from a substantial metal and is certainly strong the mechanism itself is unintuitive and cumbersome. That is the only reason I give this product 4 stars instead of 5. I rather wish it was a more conventional buckle and I will reassess my opinion after this year’s planting season. I suspect that I will modify my bags but I’ll wait until after my seedlings are in the ground.

This bag easily fits 25 seedlings, leaving enough room to separate the first few from the bunch. It is water proof and with one season of planting, it is still in good shape. the buckle shows no sign of rust.With the belt cinched up properly, the bag sits at my waist pretty well, even when full of trees.However, the mechanism for tightening and loosening the belt leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe there is a trick I don't know, but it is hard to cinch it up tight, and it easily loosens itself while I walk.
