A cousin of mine has a simple sheet of flexible plastic (about 40x60
cms) which you roll up and insert into a plastic bag - and the bag
stays open, not flopping around, making it easy to load the bag with
leaves, etc. I believe this one came from Canada.
Are they known in the UK?
If so, under what name and where can I get one (preferably online)?
It's sheer genius,
TIA

Yes they are available in the UK. Have a look in the KleeneZe or Bettaware
Catalogues, I feel sure I have seen them in there.

40cm x 60cm, if my math is correct that means the bag has either a 12cm or
19cm diameter or smaller as some overlap is required.

Are we talking for garden refuse or window box refuse.

Yes larger ones are available from UK garden centres...........I have one
but it measures 75cm x 170cm suitable for garden refuse sacks.

My Grandad used an offcut of Lino to do the same thing, 30 odd years
ago. 'course, they were paper sacks in those days...

my thoughts exactly Robert, sounds like a piece of old lino.
