Comments about Biobags™:

Keeps the compost pail clean and easily removes to take to compost container.

Comments about Biobags™:

I like the convenience of disposing in the bag and then discarding the whole thing without having to put it in a container by the sink that will be much more odorous in the long run.

Comments about Biobags™:

work great in kitchen compost crock!

Comments about Biobags™:

clean up is much easier

Comments about Biobags™:

Just too large for my compost pail.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags work wonderfully for kitchen waste that can go to the compost pile. They break down fairly quickly but not so fast that they start breaking down in the kitchen. This is do much easier and cleaner than carrying a container out to the compost pile.

Comments about Biobags™:

I put this liner inside my stainless steel bucket on top of my counter and I fill it with organic waste, but it leaks. I had a smelly film of brown goo under the bag when I lifted it out of the bucket. I emptied the contents into my homemade worm bin and I'm still waiting for it to decompose...that's taking a bit longer than I expected given how quickly it leaked. It's better than not using a bag though and it IS biodegradable.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags make composting kitchen scraps much easier. Cuts down on odor and avoids having to clean kitchen scrap holder after emptying. If you stuff theses bags full of scraps like I do, you will still need to carry out the compost container to the compost bin or they may rip on the way out.

Comments about Biobags™:

Even my son doesn't mind bringing it out to the compost bin. Keeps all of it contained.Just be carefull if there's alot of moisture that it doesn't drip on the way out.

Comments about Biobags™:

I've use a compost pail in the kitchen for a year now. The liners keep me from having to scrape the pail when I empty it each week. They do leak, but I put a folded paper towel in bottom, saves on rinsing sometimes. I often tear the bag at the bottom seal when I'm trying to tear at the perforation. As long as I'm careful it will tear in the right place.

Comments about Biobags™:

these bags are used all the time in europe. They were hard to find, and they are expensive. They do keep my composter bucket cleaner, and it make emptying easier~

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags make composting more convenient and much cleaner. They don't leak so you don't have to clean your kitchen crock every time you empty it. If you prefer, you can just drop the entire bag in your compost pile and the bag will compost as well. They are much better than reusing the produce bags from the grocery store which leak and don't compost.

Comments about Biobags™:

These are great, and make it a lot easier to collect kitchen scraps. They have been sturdy enough, and easily fit into our gallon compost bin.

I'm not sure how well it breaks down, I haven't put it in my personal compost bin yet (it's close to being ready to empty). I've put it in the city compost.

Comments about Biobags™:

Bags tear easily. Can't fill so end up wasting by only using half-full bags

Comments about Biobags™:

I couldn't afford the container, so just use the bags alone. At first I used one bag per week, however it would get heavy and retain moisture, so I put all of my kitchen scraps in a zip lock bag and transfer to the green bags when the garbage-man comes.I am the recycle queen of my neighborhood, so anything that keeps stuff out of the landfill is my #1 priority.

Comments about Biobags™:

Our compost bin is quite a ways from the kitchen. This allows easy transport without leaving a huge mess.
Thanks

Comments about Biobags™:

I use this in our compost container in our kitchen. It is a little thin, but I like the fact that it can go right into my compost bin.

Comments about Biobags™:

This works great for keeping the pail clean and odor free. It is easier too take the bag and dump into the pile now. It seems to take several weeks for the bags to breakdown. I tear the bags open with the shovel when I turn the pile to speed it up. Overall a decent price [...]

Comments about Biobags™:

I waited too long to change the bag the first time I used them and they leaked. The advantage, however is that they clearly break down quickly in my composter. Makes for a simple way to empty the compost pail.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags help keep the kitchen crock clean. Since they are biodegradable, you can just taken them out of your crock once it is full and throw them in your composter. Some liquid may leak through the bags into the crock, but otherwise there is no mess to clean up!

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags line the compost crock on my kitchen counter. They are bigger than the crock, so I tuck the top in to keep the crock looking neat. The bags can drip some, when removed from the crock, but hey! They are biodegradable and better than a messy crock all the time. They're great.

Comments about Biobags™:

I would prefer a smaller bag, as I like to use one bag per day to eliminate the decomposition process occurring in my kitchen. I don't have room for a container, so I keep a current day's bag under the sink then put in the mulch bin at night.

Comments about Biobags™:

I've used these bags for three years or more. I had to order them recently on a one-item order and started thinking about cost. [...] they're about [$] each. During the summer, when the garden is producing, I might use 3 in a week,week after week. They tear very easily, sometimes when you're taking them off the roll, and they leak the naturally smelly juices into your compost bucket. I'm going to switch over to using recycled plastic bags from the grocery, rinse off the bag, and use it again. Their pricing will have to be more reasonable to get me back to using and recommending these.

Comments about Biobags™:

Works well. Easy to use.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags are great. They do allow you to easily empty your kitchen crock without a lot of cleanup and smell. They will, however, begin to decompose if left in the crock with scraps for too long. If used correctly with ALL kitchen scraps, it shouldn't be a problem. I just dig a hole in my garden, bury, and never see again.

Comments about Biobags™:

the only thing i dislike about the bags is really my own fault: if i leave the bag in the compost container too long, it starts to dissolve. if i stay on top of it and take it out at least weekly, they are wonderfully helpful!

Comments about Biobags™:

I used the bags for my kitchen compost for about 4 months last year. This spring when it was time to dump the compost I had a pile of bags in the dirt. Clean, good size, and great in the house, they just don't break down.

Comments about Biobags™:

I was pleasantly surprised at the size and strength of these bio-bags. I purchased when I started composting but would have used much soon just for ecological reasons if I had known they were such a great product.

Comments about Biobags™:

The bags make the kitchen scraps easy to dispose.

Comments about Biobags™:

Easy to use. Just drop the entire bag in the composter. No mess, no clean-up.

Comments about Biobags™:

leaks within a couple of days, must be taken out frequently, before filled

Comments about Biobags™:

it makes kitchen composting easy

Comments about Biobags™:

I love these bags but (a) they often split not at the tear line rendering them useless, and (b) they don't break down in the ground very fast (not in a year's time!). Yet I love them, why? Because it keeps the kitchen compost container clean and easy to empty and the slow breakdown isn't a problem. I would like to see them a little more sturdy so when opening them to use, a tear or split doesn't suddenly appear, as they are rather expensive.

Comments about Biobags™:

As others have noted, these bags are way oversized for the crocks offered, but it really isn't a huge deal - just pull the bag taut once it's in the crock, twist the excess behind the crock, and knot it . Worth it for the convenience!

Comments about Biobags™:

It works great in my compost pail I use in the kitchen. It makes it easy to carry to my compost bin without having a mess. A quick rinse of the pail and ready for the new bag. It is also great that it just turns into compost.

Comments about Biobags™:

Great for breaking down in our composter but difficult to get off the roll without tearing the bags.

Comments about Biobags™:

We line our garbage pail with them and then just dump bag and all into the compost pile. It takes a while to break down, but does eventually.

Comments about Biobags™:

best thing ever made for kitchen composting!!! no mess and oh-so-easy to take out and compost. will never go back to bagless!!

Comments about Biobags™:

This is a life saver in getting the rest of my family to compost as enthusiastically as I do! The bags eliminate the need to clean out the compost bowl, and they were especially helpful this winter when we had weeks of heavy snow on the ground, and couldn't get all the way out to our composter on a regular basis. I was able to put the bags on the back steps, and hold them until I could get to the composter. A great invention!

Comments about Biobags™:

Easy to use and keeps the compost container clean!

Comments about Biobags™:

Tried several ways to make filling and emptying compost pail easier and more pleasant - Bought some "doggie waste" bags at Pet Smart but they were only DEgradeable, not Biodegradeable; tried paper but they fell apart; tried grocery bags, but they still had to be emptied.Should have just bought these from the start.Fill, empty, repeat...

Comments about Biobags™:

We bought these thinking how easy they would be - no more cleaning out the compost pail! Well, the bags leak like crazy, so we still end up rinsing the pail every time we empty the bag. We don't have to soap off solids, at least, but we do still have to wash it out. Not worth the money, in my opinion. I would never buy these again!

Comments about Biobags™:

Sooo many years of cleaning out the kitchen compost pail. I feel liberated!

Comments about Biobags™:

I was excited to get the bags for my compost kitchen container. However, I find them to be very flimsy and they rip easily. I will be looking around for alternative compostable bags that may be more effective.

Comments about Biobags™:

Really enjoy these bags. Being able to close them up keeps odors down, and my compost pail is so much easier to clean.
Only complaint is that they come in a larger size than I need or want, so some of the space gets wasted. There's only two of us in the house, so it takes me longer to fill up a bag, and I don't like to put it in the pile until it's full, so it can get a little smelly.
Would like a gallon size, which would fit in my pail without being overwhelmingly large.
Otherwise - They're great, altho a little pricey.

Comments about Biobags™:

The pail liners help making indoor composting an easy concept. The liners help with odor and make it is easy to transport your kitchen scraps to your outdoor compost bin.

Comments about Biobags™:

Keeps my crock clean! Breaks down fast!

Comments about Biobags™:

I use this product with the crock that I had purchased from and love both.

Comments about Biobags™:

I thought these bio bags were very handy in storing food scraps in the house, but was very disappointed when I found them still in my compost pile virtually 100% in tact after 6 months of "composting"!!!

Comments about Biobags™:

I use these bags to line my stainless steel compost bucket in the kitchen. They allow me to empty the bucket and get ALL the contents out in one easy step. Now, if only we could get 13 gallon trash bags that would dissolve!

Comments about Biobags™:

Bags are a bit large, but I wouldn't want to use it otherwise. Makes cleanup a snap and I am lazy.

Comments about Biobags™:

Great bags, no more messy containers to wash!

Comments about Biobags™:

If you do not like fuss or mess this is the product for you. It composts just find and it is easy to use.

Comments about Biobags™:

I like these bags but it seems a waste that they are made for 15 gal containers and you sell 2 and 3 quart containers. Would love them if they came smaller.

Comments about Biobags™:

They fit the compost containers prefit

Comments about Biobags™:

Work great for kitchen waste and food scraps. Have had problems tearing the bags along the seam when tearing off the roll.

Comments about Biobags™:

I got the kitchen compost pail and bags for Christmas - my request. Great way to get started without any mess and bag composts also!

Comments about Biobags™:

The perfect solution for a one-person household. I'm very pleased with this product.

Comments about Biobags™:

These are wonderful! Makes it so easy to clear the pot. Don't know why I didn't get them before.

Comments about Biobags™:

The kitchen composter sits on the counter by the sink and I take the lid off while preparing meals. All vegetable scraps go directly in, saves a step there. Easy to close the bag and carry to composter or tie it closed and store in a bucket in garage until time for a trip to the composter.
My only suggestion would be for the bag to be clear or a more natural beige color.

Comments about Biobags™:

Makes it easier to compost- without the mess.

Comments about Biobags™:

I love the in kitchen use of these bags but found that none of them broke down in the composter. Our compost was great quality except for the bags that we had to remove from the garden when we shoveled out the composter. I still will use these bags as it makes removing the kitchen pail easier and less messy but I am thinking of throwing out the bags once I empty the contents into the composter.

Comments about Biobags™:

keeps the basket clean

Comments about Biobags™:

We didn't know how much food we threw out until we started to use these Bio Bags and a plain air-tight metal cannister. Now we're able to save it all, without the smell, and when it's full, take it out and place in the compost pile. So far no animals have found the bags yet.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags make composting so easy!

Comments about Biobags™:

The biobag is larger than my compost pail so it keeps everything in the bag. It does not leak,smell, or have mold even with several days of wet coffee grounds or other food collections.

Comments about Biobags™:

This is a great idea, as it usually keeps me from having to rinse out my ceramic kitchen compost pail each time. Just lift the bag out, and toss the whole thing in the composter. Great! I have noticed the bags seem to be a little slow in breaking down in the compost tumbler, but the convenience makes up for that.

Comments about Biobags™:

The bags fit perfectly in the compost pail but can rip easy or get tears when they get full.

Comments about Biobags™:

We are using this with the stainless steel compost pail we purchased here at Gardener's Supply. These bags are working well and keep the pail clean and we love that. We just carry the bag to the compost pile and throw it in bag and all. Waiting to see how long it takes the bag to break down.

Comments about Biobags™:

this is a great product. No more having to clean the compost pail all the time,

Comments about Biobags™:

We really don't have a place to compost but our disposal company lets us put kitchen waste in our yard waste container. The bags are perfect choice for us.

Comments about Biobags™:

Using them for kitchen compost is great so far. Have not had time to see how well they decompose.

Comments about Biobags™:

My grandson really likes these bags for taking the kitchen scraps down hill to the compost pile. It's neater and much easier, so it gets done more often. The bag will handle a good bit. I like them too, especially since he isn't always around to "do the compost."

Comments about Biobags™:

I feel the product is the best on the market, but is not a product that be stuffed and overfilled due to the nature of its make up.

Comments about Biobags™:

Makes it simple to save your kitchen scraps and looks good on the counter.

Comments about Biobags™:

No more dumping of waste into compost and the taking plastic bags to the garbage can

Comments about Biobags™:

They make it easy to collect and dispose of kitchen scraps for composting.

Comments about Biobags™:

These are great bags! They make kitchen scrap collection neat and tidy. I use them 100% of the time in my kitchen compost crock. In the cold north, they do take a little while to break down in the composter.

Comments about Biobags™:

Use for kitchen composter. Saves cleaning the composter so often. Biodegradeable along with compost..

Comments about Biobags™:

Great way to contain kitchen composting.

Comments about Biobags™:

No mess and no fuss

Comments about Biobags™:

Of course these bags are easy to use and keep the compost pail clean, but they don't look very attractive sticking out of the crock on the counter. Still, the pros outweigh the cons.

Comments about Biobags™:

I've been using a stainless steel compost bucket I got from Gardener's Supply years ago and have always disliked cleaning it out after dumping the contents into my compost pile. These bags take care of all of that. No cleaning! I pour leftover liquids into my bucket too so don't know how the bags will hold up to that...have to wait and see. Also have not had them long enough to see how quickly they decompose and it's also been too cold for any break down of any compost yet. Thumbs up so far!

Comments about Biobags™:

I like to use these especially in the winter when we have the water shut off outside and can't rinse out the compost pail. They do decompose quite quickly after discarding them in the compost bin.

Comments about Biobags™:

Nice for keeping the compost container clean!

Comments about Biobags™:

My compost bucket sits inside a cabinet just next to the my cutting board. Whoosh goes the peelings and scraps...from board to bin.

Comments about Biobags™:

Makes cleanup of the compost bucket much easier!

Comments about Biobags™:

Fantastic! No more odors & lifts right out into the compost bin. So easy!

Comments about Biobags™:

I use the bags without a tabletop container and just put the bags in the freezer until they're full enough to take out to the compost bin. They are sturdy and hold a good amount of produce scraps.

Comments about Biobags™:

I order this product everytime I make a purchase from Gardener's Supply.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags fit perfectly into the compost bin and come out with ease. It is no hassle anymore to take coffee grounds to the compost pile.

Comments about Biobags™:

I have had the compost pail for a year or so and it was a smelly mess everytime I emptied the pail. Since getting the liners, I just throw the bag and waste into my composter. Have noticed they compost pretty quickly.

Comments about Biobags™:

These keep my kitchen composter clean and make transport to the outside composter a breeze. Great idea.

Comments about Biobags™:

Easy! Goes from the sink to the mulch pile!

Comments about Biobags™:

Saves cleaning out crock in our small city apartment. Much better than wrapping kitchen scraps in newspaper, & is acceptable as biodegradable for city garbage pickup.

Comments about Biobags™:

Don't know yet if they work as advertised. Handy for removing scraps from the compost crock, however, they are a little too big and need to be tied around the top to stay in the composter.

Comments about Biobags™:

Perfect. It doesn't get any better

Comments about Biobags™:

The bags are nearly perfect for my kitchen scraps, except if I put leftovers gone bad in my compost pail. I'm a 1 person household, so it takes a while for me to fill my pail. If they sit for too long without being emptied, they can start to get holes. This defeats the purpose of having bags if I need to wash out my compost pail every time anyway. I've started taking it out to my compost when the bag and pail are only 1/2 full. Not my ideal choice, but it works to keep the bags from getting holes. If you have a larger family than I do, you probably fill your compost pail more quickly, and these bags would be perfect.

Comments about Biobags™:

The biobags work great. Fit the container fine and hold a lot of kitchen waste and no odor! Would highly recommend them.

Comments about Biobags™:

Could be a little thicker. I'm hesitant to just pull the bag out and carry it to the bin-I still take the whole bucket. The end of the roll was secured in such a way that I had to rip the first bag to undo it. Sharp things like eggshells and stems can rip these bags easier than I'd like. Overall, they keep the bucket much cleaner.

Comments about Biobags™:

These liners are good but not great. With only 2 people in our household, my scraps and grounds sit around for at least 1 week before going to the compost heap. These bags will usually develop a hole by then where they are in contact with liquid residue from the coffee grounds. It is great that they are biodegrable but could stand to be a bit thicker to hold the moisture.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags 'bio-degrade a little too fast. I bought the large roll first and the bags degrade until they fall apart and tear before you use them all. Other wise they're great.

Comments about Biobags™:

Fit easly into my kitchen compost pail, then out to the tumbler!

Comments about Biobags™:

I use these daily in my compost pail. They work great but do take a little longer to break down in the compost then I would like. Overall a great buy.

Comments about Biobags™:

I love this product and have used it for a very long time. In our humid weather we cannot take advantage of the sales offering for a larger quanity, for the bags break down too quickly....as they are supposed to do.

Comments about Biobags™:

We use the bags in the compost bucket in the kitchen. They are easy to use and to dispose of.
Glad I got them.

Comments about Biobags™:

So convenient and keeps my compost bucket CLEAN!

Comments about Biobags™:

Just starting the process of composting, but they seem thin enough to not hinder the process too much. Didn't realize these bags aren't a one-size fits all though- they're pretty big for the bamboo compost bin.

Comments about Biobags™:

I LOVE these bags. They are perfect with the ceramic kitchen crock. They allow me to simply pull a full bag from the crock and carry outside to the big bin and NOT have to wash the crock every day- such a time (and water) saver! I also love that they biodegrade so I don't feel bad about using them.

Comments about Biobags™:

I'm very happy to have a bag that is bio-degradable. This takes away the mess of emptying garbage from a sack that I have to then throw away.

Comments about Biobags™:

Although the bags are quite big for the kitchen composter,they are easy and convenient - especially in winter when I don't get out to the compost pile as frequently as other seasons.

Comments about Biobags™:

They don't leak after a week's coffee grounds, so no need to wash the container. A real plus for me. I wish they were a little smaller so there isn't so much to hang over the sides, but that is very minor. Have not tried to turn, so do not know how long they take to degrade.

Comments about Biobags™:

Makes cleaning the compost bucket MUCH easier and they do decompose fairly well

Comments about Biobags™:

Tired of the smells and clean up after every emptying of the compost pail, so Biobags have helped keep odors down and clean up an ease.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags help to keeep the crock clean and really do compost quickly in my little compost machine!
Very easy to collect scraps -- I have left the bag in the crock for up to a week and have had no odor when I use the air filter with the crock.
The bags are a little big, but I can fold them over and tuck them inside the crock when I want a cleaner look.

Comments about Biobags™:

I bought these to use in the kitchen compost croc.I used it a few times, and was very pleased with it. However, due to the glaze in the croc it is not really necessary and I stopped using it. That way the croc looks prettier without the liner showing at the top. As for the bags they worked very well and was strong enough that there were no problems at all with them tearing.

Comments about Biobags™:

Love this product.

Comments about Biobags™:

At the present, I keep the bag to be filled on my sink area as I haven't found a rigid container that suits me. The bag helps me collect many scraps, even in snowy winter. I will see how the bags fair in the compost after spring arrives and temperatures warm. I like using these bags as they hold up to several days of in-house collection and get the job done of getting to the compost pile.

Comments about Biobags™:

The biobags are simply great! They are suprisingly strong and durable. And they hold a large quantity of food and compostable waste. Nicely done Gardener's Supply. I appreciate your commitment to quality.

Made to fit the compost pails

Comments about Biobags™:

My sister introduced these biobags to me and they are well-worth the money. It keeps my stoneware compost jar clean and it is easy to remove and take to the compost bin.

Comments about Biobags™:

I have five cats and use biodegradable cat litter. I used to use plastic grocery bags for the the litter waste, but plastic bags aren't biodegradable, so I felt I wasn't accomplishing my goal to be earth friendly. I now use the Biobags for litter waste. Misson accomplished!

Comments about Biobags™:

Must have addition for compost pot.

Comments about Biobags™:

I use these bags in my metal compost pail. As a result I don't need to worry about cleaning the pail, and I no longer have to use a charcoal filter to eliminate smells.

Comments about Biobags™:

I use biobags for composting kitchen scraps and coffee grounds. I like especially how I can throw the bag into the composter with the scraps and they break down with the rest of the compost.

Comments about Biobags™:

These are teriffic--highly recommend them--large capacity, no odor from the scraps and SO easy to dispose of.

Comments about Biobags™:

When we run out of compost bags, that's when we're reminded how much we really like this product! Without the bag, the compost bucket is disgusting & must be washed thoroughly each time it's emptied. With the bags, a quick rinse is the most you usually need. That makes them an ecological choice because you use less water & energy. And they save us time & money. What's better than that!

Comments about Biobags™:

These biodegradable bags are ingenious! I've never had a problem with them not composting in my compost pile. I give them as gifts to my friends and family all the time.

Comments about Biobags™:

Love these. Makes composting kitchen scraps so much easier. Holds more than I thought they would. Just need to buy in bulk to lower their cost.

Comments about Biobags™:

All kitchen scraps I put into these and then take to the composter. They are great in that they degrade in the composter and I do not have to worry with disposing of a plastic bag. I have no complaint.

Comments about Biobags™:

I purchased the BioBags for the kitchen counter crock, to simplify saving scraps in winter for my worm bin. The bags work fine on the counter, except that they are much larger than the crock and form a sizable ruffle around the top. I thought the worms would eat both scraps and BioBag. However, they don't seem interested in the bag. I finally shook the scraps out and removed the bag. What to do with a used, empty BioBag?

Comments about Biobags™:

I've had a kitchen compost pail for over 10 years, but never thought I needed a liner. After living with the smell, and the mess, and the fruitflies laying eggs, I now have a solution! It is SO worth it to use BIOBAGS. I will never go back to a linerless pail again.

Comments about Biobags™:

I love these bags. Because they break down quickly, they can start that process before you empty a kitchen composter. Even when that happens, it still makes cleanup easier (as no pieces of compost get stuck to the pail). You have to be gentle when breaking the bags apart from the roll but even when they tear, they are still useable. We love them for both our kitchen scraps and our biodegradeable kitty litter. We don't compost without them. They are a great addition to our favorite steel pails from Gardner's.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags really help us keep the counter top container clean. We don't always need to empty our counter top container everyday and these bags are great.

Comments about Biobags™:

We compost to save on amounts of garbage generated, to avoid putting food scraps in the sewer system (garbage disposal) and to improve our soil in the long run. These bags make it easier, so we really follow through on composting. I've given them as gifts, to fellow composters.

Comments about Biobags™:

We use this with the kitchen compost crock--love them. Easy, ecological, and no other clean-up needed.

Comments about Biobags™:

I HATED cleaning out the compost pail, and it can be a few days between trips to the compost bin. These bags are great. I just line the pail and fill it up over a few days. I fold the bag over on the top, the lid fits on, and you can't see it from the outside. When the pail is full, the bag just comes out, there's no leaking, no smell, and makes the trip to the compost bin much safer because I've almost dropped my ceramic compost pail a few times.

Comments about Biobags™:

We have gone from collecting kitchen waste in a brown bag to an attractive container with filter and biodegradable liner!! Finally...my kitchen does not look like a trash dump! My husband has a composter in the yard and this is a wonderful way to collect and store until ready to add to it.

Comments about Biobags™:

We only use them for coffee grounds. They hold a lot of grounds and filters. Be sure to squeeze out excess water from filter/grounds before putting in compost jar or you will have a "messy" bag when removing from jar.

Comments about Biobags™:

I use Biobags and no more plastic in garden again! Save Eco!

Comments about Biobags™:

I bought these for the bamboo kitchen bucket, and they fit the liner fine. It is mid-winter right now so I do not know if the bags are really going to break down in the compost pile or not, but they do hold together well enough to get into our larger compost pail we use to transfer out to the compost pile, and they don't leak significantly into the bucket liner.

Comments about Biobags™:

It is winter here, so not much bio-degrading going on. So far, the bags we've thrown in the compost bin are still sitting there. We'll see when the weather warms up if they actually degrade or if we have to empty them. We use our compost a lot and while these are convenient for tossing out messy compost, so far that's about it.

Comments about Biobags™:

It's great to haul out compost without having to bang the household compost bin on the edge of the outdoor compost bin to get everything out. You just grab the bag and walk it out all in one easy grab.

We haven't used these long enough to see them compost themselves yet, though. If that happens, then I'd pop the rating up to 5 stars.

Comments about Biobags™:

Put all kitchen scraps & coffee grounds in container - dump in compost pile when full (weekly). Works great!

Comments about Biobags™:

This product makes taking kitchen scraps to the compost bin easy and saves on the clean up of the compost pail.

Comments about Biobags™:

The key to composting is getting the material from the kitchen to the composter. This bag in a counter top bucket does the trick. Makes it easy to get your compostable stuff to the composter. Even for lazy people!

Comments about Biobags™:

We were sold on our composter before; but, these disposable bags make life so much easier. No longer do we have to trudge out to the outdoors with a full compost pail, struggling to empty it completely and without making a mess. The bags make life easier, eliminate the mess, and leave the compost pail clean and ready for use... Great, great product

Comments about Biobags™:

I love the convenience of having the composter right on my kitchen counter. Even when company comes for dinner, they ask what that is and i tell them i'm composting right there on my counter!! I gave a pkg to my brother recently and am waiting for his comment. I found the new ones i just received are harder to tear apart. i wasted quite a few before i could get one to tear the right way so i could use it. I wonder if they really will decompose? may ask brother as he keeps a fenced in area for his compost and then spreads it over the garden before tilling in the spring. i will let you know what i find out.sincerely, Kay Reynolds Longhairnurs[@]

Comments about Biobags™:

No need for a garbage disposal, and really helps keep the septic system from plugging up. But what's really great... my husband doesn't mind having to empty the compost pail! Just don't put too much juicy foods in it, it starts to decompose in the pail. Great product! We've used it for years, and have recommended it to many others including our children.

Comments about Biobags™:

I don't have to make the trips to the outside composter as often, the bags are great because there is no odor or mess.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bio-degradable bags are easy to use and make disposal of material a cinch!

Comments about Biobags™:

The bags fiit our container, handle everything we put in them and don't tear. Easy disposal and replacement. I will buy it again.

Comments about Biobags™:

We were collecting coffee grounds and food scraps in a milk container - messy. These bags make it so much easier to collect and dispose of kitchen compost materials and are biodegradeable. wish they were less expensive.

Comments about Biobags™:

I like the convenience of being able to take the bag out of my counter compost pail and the pail is clean, no messy cleaning, and no odor.

Comments about Biobags™:

The bio-bag is a convenient way to move scraps to the compost. It makes composting the messy scraps so easy and mess proof, I don't know how I got along without them for so long.

Comments about Biobags™:

We use the Biobags in our compost pail. It is so much easier to take out the contents to the compost bin. It also leaves the compost pail clean and without an odor. We highly recommend this product.

Comments about Biobags™:

Makes the collection and disposal easy.

Comments about Biobags™:

Gardener's Supply owes me a roll of 25 after all the torn ones from carefully trying to remove a new one from the roll. No matter how you unroll the new one a tear develops down the side making it unusable in the container. It would be nice to know how long it is expected for one to decompose in the pile, ours are still there after a year.

Comments about Biobags™:

I was worried that using these bags would make the lid on my composter too snug, but that is not the case. They are easy to use, big enough to hold all that I put in the can and they don't leak when we pull them out to take to the compost pile. I'm very happy with these bags.

Comments about Biobags™:

These compost liner bags make it easy to carry kitchen waste to the compost pile and save water since the pail doesn't need rinsing every time.

Comments about Biobags™:

With the bags, the compost bucket stays much cleaner with less odor. They compost pretty quickly even in our dry conditions.

Comments about Biobags™:

I prefer the biobags than lugging the crock to my outdoor compost bin at the edge of my property. The biobags reduce the cleaning required of the crock.

They do leak sometimes, depending on how quickly the crock fills (and how long the compost material sits) and what is in the crock. The bags do not compost as quickly as some materials, however I find they do decompose. Similarly, some matter takes longer to compost than others.

I would much rather find a local source for these bags. The carbon footprint for these bags manufactured in Norway ... well, I don't really want to think about it. And, I would like a smaller size to fit small kitchen counter crocks.

Comments about Biobags™:

What a time saver, not having to clean out the scrap saver is such a great idea and compostable to boot. Will have to keep reordering this great product.

Comments about Biobags™:

Just tie a knot and off it goes to the garbage can. Have to be careful when taking off the roll, doesn't always come off the perforations evenly.

Comments about Biobags™:

I take the bags with me to the grocery store and use them instead of the plastic bags provided for purchasing produce. Then as needed they become the liner for my compost pail. I LOVE not having those plastic produce bags to throw out. This has really cut down the plastic bag consumption in my house. The bags also do what they should as pail liners.

Comments about Biobags™:

bought the 100 bag package and have noticed that they are degrading over time in my cabinet. But I have had them probably over a year. Otherwise, they work good. You do have to empty the pail very regularly as they will leak. Mine compost quickly in warmer weather.

Comments about Biobags™:

Makes a messy chore, clean, easy and environmentally friendly.

Comments about Biobags™:

The biobag, while being a really good idea, takes a long time to degrade. We have a large compost heap on our property, and the raccoons are having a field day leaving the bags around the area. Additionally, the perforation sometimes includes a split bottom, so the bag does not hold material when being carried outside. I have knotted the bottom of the bag to solve this, thereby losing capacity. In spite of these shortcomings, I intend to order more. Hopefully the product will improve. I would recommend the product even with the problems noted.

Comments about Biobags™:

Easy to uise, and keeps the compost pail clean, and odor free. I love'em

Comments about Biobags™:

was recommended to use with the composter that i purchased from you, but doesn't work well at all, in that it prevents the mechanical screw from turning.

Comments about Biobags™:

Great product for recycling, without mess, kitchen scraps directly to the compost.

Comments about Biobags™:

I use these in the kitchen scrap pail from our waste disposal company. These fit the oval shape just fine & make it easy to take the scraps out to the the green waste can or our compost bin. I find that in my compost bin they breakdown pretty quickly, I turn mine often & it gets quite hot. Since starting to use them my family no longer complains about their turn for the chore of emptying the pail. Sometimes the bags tear when coming off the roll if you aren't careful. Overall they're great.

Comments about Biobags™:

we had an eco-friendly holiday....kitchen composter (with bio bags), garden composter and a rain barrel. We just need to get our composting started so we can add our kitchen compost to it....
BioBags certainly make it easier.

Comments about Biobags™:

I use Biobags to hold kitchen wastes and to transfer them to a composter.

Comments about Biobags™:

easy to use. contains mess and decomposes easily.

Comments about Biobags™:

They are strong enough to handle alot of kitchen scraps

Comments about Biobags™:

My compost crock is always lined with a handy Biobag. Daily kitchen scraps are easily carried to the compost pile, year-round.

Comments about Biobags™:

Just received these biobags and also gave some as a gift. They are prefect for the Odor-free Compost Pail which I also received. Looking forward to not having to scrub the compost pail every time it gets emptied!

Comments about Biobags™:

A great gift, along with the ceramic compost pail for the avid composter!

Comments about Biobags™:

Our waste service now provides us with a bio waste kitchen container. Cleaning it each time it was emptied was not an enjoyable task. While spending the summer in Europe, our friends introduced us to the cornstarch bio bags they use for kitchen waste liners. I found them at Gardeners and have used them ever since. I like that you can buy a bunch at once. We go through 2 a week and although I can fine 10 packs at some local grocery stories....I run out of them too fast.

Comments about Biobags™:

Don't count on full number of bags - They must repackage because the first bags on the roll have box cutter tears rendering the first 5-10 bags unusable.

Comments about Biobags™:

No messy compost pail. Works great - even gave biobags and compost pail to my daughter. Only con - don't leave scraps in it too long or the bag will begin to deteriorate.

Comments about Biobags™:

I've dealt with compost buckets before and this is soooo much more fun and a lot less work.

Comments about Biobags™:

this product works great in our own canister cantainer for the kitchen scraps vegetables, fruits, and coffee grounds. The only problem I hae ever had is they sometimes tear when seperating from the roll. easy clean up I just put my canistaer in the dishwasher and am ready to use no mess. I do have more odor when use the canister lid but if I keep it emptied often no problem.

Comments about Biobags™:

The ease of use couldn't be better and the messy part of collecting compost material is eliminated.

Comments about Biobags™:

An easy, compostable way to keep that scrap pail clean.

Comments about Biobags™:

Convenient and doesn't add non biodegradeable to the compost. A good contribution to the enviroment.

Comments about Biobags™:

It seems to take a bit of time to decompose. However, if it decomposed quickly it would be deteriorating while still in the kitchen compost container and that would be a problem, so I quess I just need to be patient.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags are sturdy and fit nicely in my compost container. And love that it is compostible too.

Comments about Biobags™:

Be careful. These just arrived at my house an hour ago. I placed them on an open shelf where I keep other packaging - foil, waxed paper, saran, food bags. My dogs, who aren't really chewers by nature and who don't pay attention to anything else on the shelves, went nuts and tore them apart. There must be something about the bags that smells good to them. I caught the dogs before they might have swallowed the pieces but I've lost probably half of the bags to chewing.

Comments about Biobags™:

I'm an enthusiastic composter, but I really hate to scrub the compost pail. I love these bags!

Comments about Biobags™:

Biobag takes longer to degrade in composter than I expected.

Comments about Biobags™:

They make composting kitchen waste so much tidier.

Comments about Biobags™:

I have a small garbage can under my sink I use for kitchen scraps that I then toss on the compost pile. These bags are perfect for avoiding a dirty garbage can. They feel just like plastic and are very durable. They don't keep all of the moisture from the scraps enclosed however (not surprising because they have to be degradable). I noticed that after taking out the bag my can had some water in the bottom. But I'd rather wipe out the can than have to clean it! I haven't had them long enough to tell how fast they decompose (plus it's about 15 degrees out right now). But my mom has the same ones and said they just disappear after a while.

Comments about Biobags™:

It helps the environment and also helps amend the soil in my garden and flower beds

Comments about Biobags™:

Clean up of the compost pail was a mess until I got these bags. Now we just lift out the bag and take to the outdoor composter

Comments about Biobags™:

Within a week of adding wet items to the "can&bag" there was moisture outside the bag but inside the can. I thought the bags were "composting too quickly", but other comments suggest they just leak.
What a mess...
Dont waste your money on the bags.

Comments about Biobags™:

These are great for moving compost from the house to the compost bin without making a mess.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags make it very easy, to compost kitchen scraps. Never thought I'd describe my compost pail as "clean." They fit perfectly with the stainless steel compost pail.

Comments about Biobags™:

Biodegradable compost bags...what's not to like. If you want an easier way to empty your compost container and keep it cleaner, buy these.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags biodegrade quickly. They are very helpful in keeping the in-house compost pail clean during the winter months. In the summer, we wash out the container with a hose outside. Since the outside water is turned off in the winter, we would need to wash out the pail in the kitchen. Now that we have these bio bags, we don't need to wash out garbage remains into the sink anymore. Great find!

Comments about Biobags™:

Great for kitchen scraps

Comments about Biobags™:

I use Biobags in the stainless steel kitchen container I bought from you - which we love. I prefer buying larger quantities of Biobags and you sell them in 100 lot quantities. Thanks!

Comments about Biobags™:

USe in compost pail that sit on counter. Cuts down on mess and odor.

Comments about Biobags™:

You do not have to constantly wash the compost pail. Just lift and replace.

Comments about Biobags™:

I love the biobags. My husband and I juice every morning and using the biobags along with our brushed steel compost pail eliminates odors and allows for easy cleanup daily. It is also easy to dispose of the bag when it is full. We just toss it into our compost pile. Great product.

Comments about Biobags™:

The bags do make emptying the kitchen scrap bucket easy, but they do NOT break down in the compost bin. Even after more than 1 year, the bags are still whole. We have beautiful compost and have to pick the bags out....not good at all. We won't use these again.

Comments about Biobags™:

The nice thing is that they are neat when in the compost bucket in the kitchen. Easy to use. Makes for no cleanup. They are GREAT! I have been using these a few years now and they are a favorite. I won't be without these in my kitchen.

Comments about Biobags™:

The bags make composting easier since they are biodegradable. Just pull the bag out of my stainless steet pail (bought from Gardener's Supply) and take it out to the compost bin.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags are really sturdy - just don't over fill your kitchen compost jar and leave it for awhile - it can get wet and stinky at the bottom which then makes the bags more likely to rip when you take them out.

Comments about Biobags™:

The Biobags, to us are a necessity. They fit in the crock with no problem, they easily come out and can be moved right to the compost pile. Once I get them to the pile I do cover them with other material from the pile. One suggestion I would make is to be sure you do not put coffee grounds that are still too wet. A couple bags have leaked, this has NOT been a big problem.

Comments about Biobags™:

Great for general kitchen composting. Bags are too large for most kitchen composters sothey hang over the side, not attractive on kitchen counter. Tried to cut, but loses shape. Better for bags to be USA made,[...]

Comments about Biobags™:

I've been composting for more than 25 years and once I used these bags, I would never go without them. Greatly reduces the "yuck" factor. Now there is no excuse not to compost your kitchen scraps.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags make collecting & composting kitchen scraps a snap! Good size to fit compost container and decomposes quickly in the composter.

Comments about Biobags™:

I love the biobags. I fill them with my food scraps, pull them out of my container and throw them into our food waste bins. My container is clean and ready for a new bag. I have not had one tear on me and I have gone through several set of the bags.

Comments about Biobags™:

I like to use these bags so that I don't have mess or mold to clean up.

Comments about Biobags™:

I use for kitchen scraps but bag leaks. Also bags don't break down they have been in compost pile for a year and are still whole.

Comments about Biobags™:

Perfectly fits our compost pail. No mess to clean up, breaks down quickly in the compost bin.

Comments about Biobags™:

Great way to make your own fertilizer without all the hazards of the commercial brands. Also, helps to cut down on the trash bags that will go to the landfill because of stinky kitchen garbage!

Comments about Biobags™:

I use these bags in a crock to collect coffee grounds and egg shells. Then I toss it in my compost bin. Can't get any easier than that!

Comments about Biobags™:

These make composting kitchen scraps so easy! I use these to line my Hammered Copper Compost Pail that I also got at Gardeners Supply. They even hold up in the microwave for a few minutes so my worms can dine with ease.

Comments about Biobags™:

I have been purchasing my bio-bags from Gardner's Supply for years and they work extremely well. I learned a lesson when I ran out - it can be messy trying to empty out a plastic bag that you have substituted as a liner. I order plenty and my composting efforts have paid off!

Comments about Biobags™:

I don't fill to top because if there is bulky waste at bottom it is hard to get it out through the throat of the jar. Product quality of bio-bags is superior.

Comments about Biobags™:

Latest shipment of these bags won't compost...still there after 3 months in southern heat! Batch received 2 years ago composted quickly but leaked when transporting to outside bin. Only thing this batch is good for is transporting....dump the scrapes and put bag in regular garbage.

Comments about Biobags™:

We discovered that you need to use more than one bag due to the nature of these bags. They are definately biodegradable! We still think they are great no matter how many we might need to use!

Comments about Biobags™:

Since my composter is not close to the kitchen, the bags allow me to fill the crock and carry it neatly outside. If you leave the lid off the collection bucket or crock,and only collect vegetable matter, coffee grounds, as recommended, there will not be an odor.

Comments about Biobags™:

Kitchen scraps out to composter.

Comments about Biobags™:

These bags do what I wanted them to do - make the job of emptying the compost easier for sure.

As other reviewers have noted, they do seem to leak moisture, or perhaps just condensation - I'm not totally sure which. The bottom of my compost pail (under the bag) is always wet, but not smelly, so I'm ok with it. A quick rinse is MUCH better than dealing with all the compost ickies.

I also have found them to be pretty slow to break down. Ok if you are just letting your compost pile sit on it's own for long periods. Perhaps not ideal if you turn your pile regularly in an attempt to create compost more quickly.

Over all - I recommend these bags, they have been a big help to me.

Comments about Biobags™:

I am just getting started with the bio bags so I can't comment on how fast they compost but they make the process so much easier. No more washing/scraping the bin.

Comments about Biobags™:

Put this bag in your bin or bucket and fill it up.
It keeps odor down but I found that sometimes liquid does seep through. i love to be able to just pick it up and dump it in my compost pile. No odor!!! Can't beat that.

Comments about Biobags™:

I collect my compost on the kitchen counter in a 1/2 gallon juice pitcher with a top. These bags are very neat-- I just pull them out, take them out to the compost pile with all the stuff inside, and bury them there. They decompose pretty quickly. It's a great advantage over plastic bags. One small complaint: sometimes the bottoms rip when I'm separating each bag from the roll that it's on. Perferation needs to be better.
