I understand that there are yard waste bags that decompose because
they're made of cornstarch. I have five ever-taller trees on my
40-foot wide lot, and would dearly love to not use plastic for the
leaves.

I imagine that cornstarch bags are pretty expensive, now that corn
futures and actual prices are so high because of the ethanol boom.
But, still, where can we get them in Minneapolis?
