Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I have 4 compost bins and find this a very simple way to make composting easier and less messy. When it is full just carry it out and put in the compost pile.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Exactly as described.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We wanted to start a work composting program, but cleaning the compost bucket was not a popular task for our volunteers. So these bio bags allow us to run our program. They do sweat or leak a bit, but only because the bucket gets really full. They seem to take a while to compost, and require you to add more dry stuff, but I'm hopeful it will work out. We have a thriving compost right now!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
So far this has made collecting food scraps and getting them to the compost pile much easier. However, I can't really say yet how well they compost. Liquids do seem to break them down quickly inside my pail, though. I often have to dump "wet" garbage before a bag is full; otherwise it will begin to leak.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Easy to transfer compost without having a mess to clean.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The biobags are too large for the counter top compost pail. Although, the bags are meant for easy cleanup, they begin to disintegrate in the pail while collecting waste.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The only problem I have had is adding egg shells, they will puncture the bags and this will cause "leakage".
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
This liner keeps your kitchen compost bin nice and clean, and makes it very easy to get the contents of the bin out and into your compost pile without getting your hands dirty!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use this with my Stainless Steel Compost Pail in my kitchen. Does a good job...just a tad too expensive.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags are much improved over the ones I bought a year ago - they are sturdier and more leak resistant. However, if you have very watery scraps (tomato or cantaloupe, for example) and they are in your compost pail for a few days before emptying, the bags will leak.

Compost bageindirt around rose bushes
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We use these in our kitchen composter,and really like them! They help to keep the bin neat,and ease removal onto the compost pile. However,if you don't fill up the bag quickly enough, it begins to decompose while still in the bin.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We've only used 2 bags so far. The first one leaked into the bottom of the pail. The liquid that leaked was easier to clean up than the garbage residue we used to have. Odor seems to be reduced.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I'm just the gardeners wife. These bags take a lot of the mess out of composting the fruit and vegetable waste left from preparing food.
The only thing that could make it better is if it would carry itself to the compost pile.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
It is nice to be able to take the bag out of the pail and toss it in the compost.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags have 2 uses: to help keep my compost pail from getting moldy and to dispose my cats' waste in when I scoop it from their boxes. It does both jobs very well. My compost pail is now less smelly and easier to keep clean. Also, I feel much better about putting my cats' waste in the garbage - no more plastic bags. I like this product.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
This makes it easy to carry our kitchen scraps out to our composter.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Far easier to use and keep pail clean than without. Previously we emptied a small plastic bag containing the kitchen scraps and then threw the disgusting bag away: burdensome and wasteful. Now, we can throw the biodegradable bag away with the vegetable and fruit scraps.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These are pretty great for keeping the compost bucket clean, but liquid does get through, and they don't break down in the compost pile as quickly as their contents.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The bags are very helpful; we use them everyday for kitchen scraps.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I normally fill it up within a week, so the food never has time to get noticeably smelly before I take it out to the compost. And I really wish they would reinforce the bottom so that: 1. you wouldn't have to daintily tear off a bag so that you don't create a rip in that one weak spot in the bottom-center, and 2. so that it wouldn't leak into the pail through the unseen holes.
The bags don't break down as quickly as food, but I guess they're quick enough.
Would be a really awesome, convenient product if they'd just fix the leaks/tears. I hate cleaning up yucky pails and these bags come so close to keeping from having to.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I purchased the clear compose bags first and loved them. When I re-ordered them I was sent green ones. They don't seem to compose as quickly as the clear ones. I wasn't told that they would be different.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Bought the biodegradable bags along with 2 compost pots. They're the best way to keep it neat, all together and easy to carry out and dispose of. My hubby anchors the bag around the handles on the side and so far we haven't had a problem. When they're full he picks them up and carrys the bag and all outside. The compost pot is clean and ready for a new one. Also no chance of it getting broken carrying it back and forth.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Small biobag for use with the "scrap crock," is a good thing--the whole bag goes into the compost bin. It almost breaks down too fast, but will learn to use. Just added to compost bin yesterday, so don't have a clue how fast it will breakdown etc.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I love the Biobags. No more messy coffee grounds or carrot peels to wash out of our compost pail every day. The bags have more capacity than our compost pail, so there's room for corn husks and corn cobs, plus more! When a bag is full, I just take it to our backyard compost pile, and toss it in. They begin to decompose within a week.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Product purchased as gift for someone who wanted attractive container for kitchen to collect compost.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use this in my kitchen compost pail to keep it reasonably clean. It does that but the bag tops tend to slide inside the pail.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I couldn't find the right bio-bags for the scrap boxes supplied by Oakland's waste disposal in any of the stores--they were either huge or too small. In addition, they were extremely expensive for daily use. These fit perfectly and are priced so I can afford them.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Happy to have a liner for the bucket but expected it to biodegrade after a month in the soil. Mine are green. Any difference than the white ones in the catalog?
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We use the Biobags in our compost "pail" in the kitchen. They work great, and compost quickly in our Pyramid composter. No complaints!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Good product for managing fruit flies
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use it in my countertop composter.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These really make the job of composting from kitchen scraps so much easier. Sometimes they do get pretty soggy based on the contents but I love them!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
[...] I have used this product for 4 or 5 years now and it does the job for me.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Although the bags are pricier than what I used before (nothing at all), they keep my mother happy. She believes all waste should be in plastic bags, and was very grossed out by the presence of a "naked" compost container in the kitchen. Be aware that it won't hold a heavy load.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The bags are convenient for kitchen composting. Before I had these bags I just put the kitchen scraps in the compost crock. This was smelly & messy because the food began decomposing quickly. With the composting bags there is no mess or smell & the bags are easily removed to toss in your compost pile.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Good fit for the Kitchen Compost Crock. Breaks down pretty fast in the compost pile.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
No mess while taking out the kitchen scraps....
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
collection of kitchen scraps for the compost pile. convenient
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags are used to contain food scraps which are collected weekly with my yard waste in a suburban development. The only problem is that the bags leak liquid. The liquid is beginning to discolor the inside of my Copper-Finish Compost Pail [...]. I like knowing that the food scraps and yard waste are being composted since I do not have space for composting on my property. I really do not know how easily the bags compost.[...]. My review should read: liquids permeate but solids are well contained.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
easiest way to collect and dispose of kitchen scraps
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
It makes composting very easy and odor free.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I had my new compost can for a few months before buying the liners. These are perfect for cleanup and I am just wondering why I waited so long to start composting. Its too easy and I am just not "working" at all!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Easy to use and decomposes quickly in my composter

They are so easy to use and make clean up a snap.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The bags seem to break down in sufficient time ( or that little stinker that got into the composter just ate it)
but when we turn the pile, there never seems to be any bags in it. and we put one in about every two weeks. keep the mess outta of compost crock in the kitchen, but does have occasional leaks
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I bought these to go in my counter composter & they fit well & work well. After seeing what my father in law did with his, I also used a rubber band to keep container looking neat.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Use it to line my compost box.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
This liner is pretty big, so when I place it in the crock I twist it and tuck the twist under the bag to keep it tidy looking.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Love this product. Use it in my compost pail in the kitchen and sometimes take a bag to put all my scraps in when chopping food at the table. Easy solution to getting scraps out to the compost pile.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
biobags have sufficient capacity - use about 2/week. They are strong and hold a full load well.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Collecting kitchen scraps in a crock to take down to the compost bin was a good idea, except the older contents would be a decomposed mess by the time the crock was full. The bags help keep the mess from sticking to the crock - and I don't have to handle the decomposed contents. A much cleaner solution.

Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I like the fact it is bio-degradable so can be put in compost pile once full of kitchen scraps. The price is right for the number of bags. Depending on the scraps, I can wash the bag for at least two uses but not more. I can't see using the crock without these bags.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Fits nicely in the kitchen compost pail. Comes in convenient rolls of 50. The only problem I've had is that they occasionally break.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I love not having to scrub out my under-sink compost container after every use.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags are great. Easier to just throw in my compost container rather then having to empty a bag and then dispose of it.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These are being used by my daughter and daughter-in-law both of whom seem to be pleased with them so far. I personally do not garden anymore. But they are both interested in conservation so it helps their gardens.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use these bags in my compost pail and wouldn't live without them now, no more cleaning out slimy stuff at the bottom and trying to scrape out what's stuck. They compost down with everything else very quickly...very happy!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
After we broke our first compost crock carrying it out to the composter I decided to try these bags. Not only are they convenient, but it's no longer necessary to scrape the sloppy kitchen scraps out of the crock, and the crock needs cleaning a lot less often. I even think it helps with the "compost-y" smell. I'll never go back to a "naked" compost container!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
One of these liners goes in our kitchen compost pail after each time it's emptied. It saves time cleaning the pail. It's easy and fast.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use this product in my compost bucket to keep it from getting messy
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These make composting so much less messy!!! I only wish that they came in smaller sizes to fit our table top compost container.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I am new to composting but this product and the stanless steel compost pail really have helped keep me motivated. The bags are light, and strong and dont shed the odor like some products.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
to gather kitchen scraps to take to yard composter
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Thought this would be much better than the plastic grocery sacks that I was using; however, the bag gets flimsy, so you can't fill it very full of heavy kitchen scraps. My husband seems to think the bag takes a while to degrade.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Takes the mess out of composting kitchen scraps.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I LOVE the fact that the bag is biodegradable and I don't need to take the whole crock outside. But beware ...if you put too much in and it's a few days before you take the bag to the compost pile, the bag can leak... and that's messy !
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Vary convenient and for the most part very cleam; however, depending upon temperature the bags can start to degrade before they are full.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I do like using these bags. The best part is not having o drag your whole compost jar down to the garden, plus your jar doesn't get as messy. Down fall is when you try to take the bag out of the compost jar and the bag is full it's a little hard but not bad.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Quick and easy way to empty the compost bucket and take up to the compost pile! Keeps the bucket clean and ready for the next bag and compost scraps. Will buy more when this big pack is done. I am pleased that you get a lot of compostable bags for little money.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I love being able to plop these in my stainless steel composter, removing when full and throwing in the outdoor compost bin. No more mess of cleaning out the composter each time it's emptied.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
It takes the mess out of composting and breaks down easily into useful compost. I use it with my stainless steel pail, also from Gardener's Supply and it fits perfectly!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags make our countertop kitchen compost crock much nicer to use. With the new bags, there's no more "ick" factor in opening or in emptying it. My husband will now regularly take the bags to the compost heap. He would "forget" to do the messier pre-bag chore of scraping and rinsing the jar (which involved finding and filling a bucket with rinse water to take with him, or dragging a hose). We're happily composting lots more now, which I think makes up for the energy consumption to manufacture the bags.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags are sturdy and make bringing out the compost a snap!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use this with a kitchen crock that uses charcoal filters. Without the use of the liners the filters do not mold up. But when I use the Biobags, the filters grow a slimy mold. I love the fact that I don't have to scrub out my crock when I use the liners. But the moldy filter is gross.
A "darned if I do... darned if I don't" situation.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These are great and make it so much more pleasant to empty the compost pail. As hectic as life can be, sometimes it's something as simple as not having to scrub out the compost pail that can really make you smile.
Thanks!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
They get hard and black in the composter, they are hard to mix in, and get tangled around the shovel. We have recently added booster to our composter, so it is possible that our composter isn't as hot as yours, but I really love that I don;t have to scrub nasty gunk off of the inside of my compost pail in the kitchen, WELL worth the chopping in the compost bin later!!!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags could be half the size they are and they'd fit into the counter-top container much better. The container gets full and there is still half the bag hanging over the edges, unused. I feel like I'm wasting half the bag, but don't want it to sit on the counter until it's full. Even so, it makes it easier to deal with the scraps and peelings.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Is not useful for compost bin because they do not readily compost.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
easy to use, handy
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I keep this on the kitchen cupboard
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I don't think these bags were designed not to leak. They are for compost and serve that purpose. I just take the black pail with the compost outside and a quick rinse does the trick. It is really no extra bother and I like the idea that I don't have to worry about the bags. I love this product.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags are great - now even my finicky daughter is able to take out the compost. Just toss the bag into the bin, no mess, no fuss. They are sturdy and strong, and hold a generous load.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
i usually empty my crock once a week, but by that time, the bottom of the bag has already liquified and the bottom of the crock is filled with decomposed food---gross!!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I find these bags so easy to use either cleaning fruits and vegetables or keeping the bag in the Compost container on the counter.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
makes composting of kitchen scraps, etc. feel more sanitary in the kitchen. Clean-up is much nicer and easier. If the compost pail is full (as when we have fruit with rinds) one of the bags can be used without the pail. We like them and plan to keep using them.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
In addition to the one in the kitchen, I use them for the cat litter as well. Instead of throwing the litter in the weekly trash, my husband puts it out in the woods in our yard.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Much better to use than a plastic bag. This one does decompose and keeps the waste fluid from getting on you when you empty it. Be sure the bag tears off correctly however,and does not have any holes in it.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags make composting so easy everyone with a yard should be able to compost kitchen scraps easily. Having no buckets to wash every time you take compost out saves so much time and takes the unpleasantness out of composting. They also help reduce odor in your kitchen since your pail does not get dirty and smelly. I think they're essential to composting from the kitchen.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The best part is that the teenagers don't turn up their noses at having to empty the compost pail!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Less maintenance of compost bucket
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I put the biobag into a kitchen crock for easy disposal. Taking the bag to the compost is much better than taking the whole crock and then washing it out. However The bags are way too big for the crock (I have the large ceramic crock) and I am not crazy about the way the bag hangs out from under the lid.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I love NOT having to wash the compost container with each use. A few of these bags have leaked liquid but on the whole they are a great concept. They take awhile to compost but who's checking dates!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Easy to carry to composter
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The bag works great but is a lot larger than I expected and sticks way out of the crock, so it doesn't look as nice.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
It lines by kitchen compost pail. It makes cleaning-up quick and easy & I don't have to worry about where to dump the plastic bag after I empty its contents in my compost bin. There is nothing the matter with it.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Much less work than emptying the container and washing it out each time.
However, they should not be so BIG! They are way bigger than the kitchen compost containers Gardener's Supply sells---that is a waste of material. And why are they now colored green instead of off white? That makes them an attention getter as they hang way over the sides of the container. The descriptive picture is deceptive as they are much bigger than the photo portrays--and that's using the same container as in the photo.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Convenient, neat, sanitary.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I've used this product for years-its convienent, compsts quickly and makes the process neat and easy!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
It's nice that we can just throw the bag into our compost bin outside. This makes it easier to compost and is less clean up in the kitchen.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use my Bio bags in the kitchen
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
good
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We think these are more trouble than they are worth. There is no way to secure these entirely inside the canister (and have them be open), but if you pull them around the lip of the can they are ugly and interfere with the operation of the can lid (at least on our tight-fitting canister). But if you let them flop closed inside the can then you have a hassle keeping them open while you add new scraps. Easier just to rinse the can after emptying to compost.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags are the perfect solution! Makes composting kitchen scraps a breeze. We used to just have an urn with charcoal filter, but then it would be a process to empty it into compost pile in backyard. Involved lots of messy non-pleasant cleaning of the ceramic container each time. These bags eliminate all that and make them well worth their price.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I bought these bags for use in the same compost bucket as shown in the photo. We never even got to try them, as we cannot get one bag off the roll intact. They just keep ripping and ripping and ripping down the length of the bags, like what happens with cheap cellophane tape. We went back to using plastic grocery bags and will throw the remains of the roll of bags in the compost. It was a big waste of money for us.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Love the fact that I don't have to lug the pail around with me and I like the fact that for the money I get a lot. Great price, great item, and great way to save the earth!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Great idea! They are a bit large but that is not an issue at all, in fact a big plus for me if you want to know. They fit the crock well with room to add more if needed once out of the crock. I would however recommend that you do not wait long to dump in compost, they have leaked if left for a week (found out the hard way), also keep away from heat as they appear to begin to break down (likely cause of above mentioned leak), overall, not a huge issue and I will continue to purchase. I do not know yet how they break down in compost bin, I am trying them to find out but my guess is they will break down with no issues, but jury is still out there....Keep the package of bio bags in a cool area to prevent them from breaking down. Just the ease of taking out scraps to compost (or garbage can)because they should break down is well worth it for the enviroment.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Great value. Bags are large.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These are fine bags. They are light and "technically" disolve (I have not confirmed that yet. But it is great to know that I do not have to emply my pail. I can dump it as it is.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Very easy to store and use the bags. Large quantity stores in a small space.Do
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Use mostly for kitchen scraps for composting. This bag is strong!!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The Biobags simplify the kitchen compost process. Makes the transfer of compost from kitchen to the out of doors much more efficient.
I am only sorry that the bags do not decompose as quickly as I had hoped they would. We have many globs of undecomposed bag lying around and within the compost.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We have two crocks -- one for garbage and one for composting. Even with the charcoal filter, the smell in the garbage one can become fairly offensive. Do you have any product that can neutralize that kind of odor?
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags are great for minimizing the "yuck" factor when cleaning the compost pail. They break down quickly once transferred to the bin, but I haven't had problems with them breaking down in the pail.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The bio bags are awesome! Just put in your kitchen scraps and when needed, just take to the compost bin!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
It's just very convenient to be able to take the bag to the compost pile and cut down on the washing of the container. Coffee grounds do tend to seep through a bit sometimes, however. I cannot address odor issues, because the container has a filter, and odor was not a problem before we started using these bags. Overall, very pleasant to use.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Keeps the compost bucket from getting disgusting
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
It's so easy to throw kitchen scraps into this inside my pail then pull the bag out and throw it into the compost pile.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
So easy to use in our copper compost pail. Perfect size for it, too.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Need to wait until I get some compost to tell how quickly they convert. Convenient to carry outside but because they don't fit IN the jar, it is sometimes hard to fill the bags without overflowing into the jar anyway since I don't lik the way they look sticking out.

I just got the biobags, and have used 2. Both leaked!! It is nice to have the crock sitting there waiting to be filled with scraps but I have to dirty a dish to get the bag out of the house. Might of well have stayed with my bowl, like Rachel Raye!!

Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
helps manage composting process...makes messy material easy to handle...bags could be a little heavier to fint more snugly into containers....
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The bag doesn't always break down in the tumbler style composter, or it shrinks down into a white clump.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Keeps kitchen compost crock MUCH cleaner and it's easy to transfer to outside compost. There is still a little seepage of liquid into the crock. The biggest drawback is it's not disintegrating as fast as I had hoped (original bags are seen 2 months later).
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Kitchen scraps without a mess...what a concept. The size is plenty generous for the container.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:

Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Very useful indeed. Makes composting much easier. Takes a while to break down if not turned over and dug in.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Instead of throwing away scraps, I can add them to my composter, without the mess of fruit flies and odor.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I still carry my compost pail out to the pile because sometimes the bags leak, but it takes just a quick rinse to clean up the pail & I like that I can discard the bag right into the compost pile. I empty my pail once a week, so without the liner bags I would have to scrub out the pail every time.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Works great with the metal pail!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I like the biobags and I'm glad I got them. I use them with the compost crock and I like that they keep the kitchen scraps from getting too gross in the bottom of the crock. The bags leak a little, yes, but I empty my crock about once a week (when full) and there is only a little bit of moisture leftover. All I have to do is rinse the crock and let it air dry before putting another bag in. I have no idea if the bags will compost well...but they seem like they will and I don't think I will mind seperating them out from the compost if they need to sit a little longer.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:

Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These make clean up of our compost bucket a breeze!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags are much to big for the ceramic counter top crock. ideally they should be just a little larger than the crock. Instead the bags need to get bunched up inside and thus need to be handled to put the waste into the bag. They work better as poop bags.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I keep my kitchen compost bin under my sink. This keeps the bin neat and odor free.

Not soon enough to tell if the bag disintegrates easily into the composted dirt. Bag makes composting more pleasant: no odors, no cleaning compost pail, easily transported to bin. All in all, a great idea.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags are great for a quick and esy solution to the question,; "What to do with the after I compost the material?"
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Bio bags keep my compost pail clean and quickly decompose in the compost tumbler along with all my kitchen scraps. I no longer have to scrub out a stinkie compost pail.

Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Although these don't break down super quickly, they sure improve my attitude toward composting food scraps! I love that I rarely have to wash out the pail.

Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I love this product. I have been composting kitchen scraps for many years and this simple little bag make it easier to just lift out the scraps and take them to my main compost bin. The cost seems high till you realize that the bags are about 2 cents each-- a bargain. The kitchen pail stays clean and you don't have to tote it back and forth from the main compost bin. The bags are a generous size and easily accomodate large amounts of waste. {I usually pack it down }I was a little afraid that they would break open and not hold the weight of the kitchen scraps -- but they hold a lot of weight without any breakage. The kitchen pail [ I have the ceramic 'garbage pail' is so much easier to rinse out and probably doesn't even need this too often. If there is a downside to this product, I haven't found it!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Great price, and they don't dissolve before you can get them to the yard waste container! If only they had larger sizes...
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
bags are great for use in the kitchen compost pail. Very glad to have ordered them Have given them to a friend and also shared some with my daughter-in-law
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The neatest way to handle kitchen scraps for composting. I will definitely re-order.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Love the concept. We've been composting kitchen scraps for years, but hate cleaning out the bucket. This keeps all those juicy, moldy messes contained. I've not used the product long enough to know if the bags really break down...but I'll keep you posted.

Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
This is a good product. I like the convenience of just dumping it in my composter. Goes well with the kitchen pail and is durable enough to last a week with material in it. It also composts fast.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
they are a better price than other similar items found on the market. though it does seem a bit wasteful that these bags are twice the size of the average kitchen compost bucket...could get almost twice as many bags out of the same amount of material. where is the conservation aspect of that? otherwise, they work well and would rather have them line the bucket than not.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I own an organic bed and breakfast and I've been composting for ten years, faithfully carting my slimy, smelly veggie peelings out to the compost pile... rinsing the container and letting it dry before bringing it back into the kitchen. Biobags are terrific and they save me at least five minutes daily. What was I thinking?
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
This product makes it much easier to compost. It is very easy to use and makes things less messy all around.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags make it easy to get rid of your kitchen scrapes. I just lift it out of my compost bin I keep under the kitchen sink. All the matter comes with the bag. Leaves a little moisture behind which is easy to wipe but no collection of rotting kitchen scrapes in the bottom of the bin. Haven't used it long enough to see how well it breaks down in the compost bin.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags do exactly what the company claims they will do. I can collect veggie/fruit scraps for several days without having to make a trip to the compost bin. One word of caution - try to keep liquids to a minimum because the bag will decompose on the bottom and you will have a mess.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags are fantastic. Keeps the compost pot very clean and even my husband is willing to carry it out to the main compost bin b/c it's "no hassle."
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We use these bags for both our composting and our diaper bin. I am pleased to have a bag that is as biodegradeable as our diapers!!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I keep it ready in the kitchen to hold scraps, very handy and easy to dispose of. No mess, that is what I really like about it.

Bag tears easily. Leaks liquids. I would not buy any more of these.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
It is so easy to carry the kitchen scraps out to my compost bin. Just lift the bag out and out I go.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Grab and go to the composter, how easy is that?
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Convenient to use but must pour contents into composter as the material is too slow to break down.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
iF YOU USE THIS IN A KITCHEN COUNTER CONTAINER, IT CAN BE HARD TO REMOVE IF THE CONTAINER HAS A RIM AT THE TOP AND A LID, ESPECIALLY IS YOU FILL IT FULLY.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We have a large compost bin in the backyard but we have a small, ceramic compost pail with a lid in the kitchen to collect our daily scraps. We are committed to composting all that we can but were discouraged by the revolting task of cleaning out the ceramic pail after we'd empty it in our yard. Needless to say, the biodegradable, composting liners have made that disgusting task obsolete and we couldn't be more thrilled!! The bags are wonderfully convenient if you, like us, don't like having to scrub the gunk out of the bottom of your kitchen compost pails. Our only complaint -and this is really rather trivial, is that the bags are larger than we need them to be so we end up with quite a lot folding over the sides which is aesthetically not so pleasing. However, we are more than willing to live with that minor inconvenience considering what else the product delivers.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
After I put bag in pail, I do put a folder up paper towel on the bottom. It helps with the liquid that has accumulated in the bottom on the pail.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We use the bags in the kitchen with an on the counter compost pail. I love the idea that it is so easy to use and very clean. It is nice to make a run out to the composter and not have to clean the container each time. I do however have a problem,the bags are 15 qt capacity and the on the counter pails are only 4 quarts. I really wish there were two sizes to choose from. I feel as if I am not using the bag to full capacity and am waisting a lot of bag but I don't want to leave a bag sitting in my sink until it is full.
overall I think the compost bag is a great idea it just needs a little fine tuning.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We do not have a composter. We leave next to woods and have a pit that we use to compost our compostable food waste. I thought this would be a great idea to have the liners. They worked well in the house but didn't break down at all. I thought at first it was because it was too cold and/or dry. But we have had tons of rain in April and May and we have had temps in the high 80s consistently, and the bags look the same as they did before. THey aren't breaking down. Very disappointed.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I like the ease of use to help with my composting
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I hold each bag in place with a large rubber band.This product beats cleaning out a smelly container.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use these liners in my compost crock and they work very well. They make disposal extremely easy.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The biobag fits nicely into the container and looks neat, not like a brown paper bag. It is easy to remove and is large enough so it's easy to close and carry. The only down side is that it can start to decompose if left in the container for several days with wet stuff in it, thus leaking a bit. However, if thrown out regularly I've had no problems with it.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use the BioBags in the kitchen countertop composter and I love the cleanliness and odor free usage. I highly recommend them!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I love these bags, but while tilling up the garden this spring where they had been dug in a year ago, the bags were still intact. Black, but still intact. I trust they will eventually decompose and so am ordering more.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I used to use the plastic bags that came home from the market produce dept. They didn't tear or leak, but they also didn't biodegrade. I like that the bags I'm using are adding to my compost.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Like using a bag I can just throw into the compost pile. It does begin to leak fairly quickly, so bag needs to changed frequently.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The only problem is that several of them were torn part-way down when I unfolded them to put them in the kitchen compost bin.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I like the convenience of taking stuff from kitchen to compost with less mess.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Usefull and keeps the compost crock clean. Also makes it easy to get the waste to the composter, no lugging a ceramic urn back and forth. Set it and forget it.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Without the bags I would be dealing with disgusting messes. We don't empty our container out but once a week or so. Others had mentioned that the breakdown of the bags happens too quick but ours work great for the weekly cleanup. I wouldn't want to leave them in there longer than that anyway due to odor in the container when I open the lid.

I use these bags with the crock and we love them! So easy to remove waste and dump in composter! Great product!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
This product is a little large for the silver counter-top composter sitting next to my sink, but I love the fact that these bags hold so much! They're easy to tie up and make the trip out to the compost pile much more pleasant than it used to be!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
practice composting, but the scraps in the compost pail turn to mush a lot of times before they make it to the bin. Then there was the horribly smelly cleaning afterward. This product has eleimated that.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use the disposal bags in my little garbage container and they work great. I don't have to worry about a hole in the bag and the perfect size for all my kitchen scraps. I order these ALL the time, I wouldn't know where else to purchase these convenient bags. For the people who don't have a garbage disposal these are perfect for the smaller container needed in the kitchen
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We use these bags our compost pail and love them! They are thin but have never burst on us yet. I had one leak as I threw it into our outside compost pile but it held up during the trip outside. I also feel that these bags speed the process of breakdown. They also keep the compost pile outside from odors and attracting flies.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:

Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Impressive strength for such a light weight. Biobags keep all our kitchen scraps (and we have a lot) safely contained all the way to the composter.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags make it easy for me to take out my kitchen waste to the compost pile. I like that it is biodegradeable and I can just throw the whole bage into the pile with the scraps.

Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We use these in our kitchen compost pail. Much handier than the newspaper liners we were using. The only problem is that they do not contain liquids well. Juices from tomatoes and other juicy fruits and vegetables tend to leach through the bags before we can get them to the compost bin.

The bag fits perfectly into the enamel bucket that sits under my kitchen sink so is handy everyday when I clean up kitchen scraps.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I have used Biobags for 2 years now, and I love them. I have an old ceramic cookie jar, and the bags fit in perfectly. They hold a LOT of kitchen scraps, and there is no odor, so the trip to the compost pile is only once a week. The only down side to them is that they tend to "weep" if there are too many moist items in the bag, so you have to take the whole jar out, not just the bag. But that is a minor inconvenience compared with the advantages of using them over a paper bag, or non biodegradable plastic liner. Thank you!!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I love that I no longer have to deal with cleaning out my scraps pail or emptying a supermarket plastic bag. This makes is SO much easier. The bag does leak fluid a bit, so I just carry the entire pail to the composte bin to empty it and there is less mess in the pail to clean up!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We use the bags to make the transfer from the compost pail to the compost bin easier. Just grasp the top of the bag and pull out of the pail and dump the full bag into the compost bin. It helps keep the pail clean and no stray pieces of veggie scraps need to be scraped from the pail as they stay in the bag. Stronger than I thought the bags would be.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I love these biobags because they make composting in a condo so much cleaner. I can bag up my food waste and tie this off and make a clean deposit into the compost bin. No mess, no odor, it’s just like taking out the trash all neatly bagged.
These are great since they are compostable as well.

Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
There are one difficulty and one concern that we have with these Biobags.
Our local disposal company picks up yard waste at curbside (as well as trash and recycling), and allows us to put vegetable compost in the yard waste bin. We keep a small container in the kitchen with one of your Biobags lining it, put vegetable compost in it during the week, and then empty it into the yard waste bin when it's time to wheel it out to the curb for pickup. The Biobag is, by its nature, supposed to compost quickly, and it does: by the time we move it with its contents to the yard waste bin each week, it is already leaking quite a bit of fluid, and often is starting to drop pieces of solids. I could empty the small container twice a week -- though that would make an aromatic, sticky mess of the big yard waste bin on a regular basis. Since it's supposed to degrade, I almost can't label this a "difficulty," but I sure wish there was a way to have bags that last a week before noticeable degrading takes place, as a week is the typical interval between trash/recycling/yard waste pickups in most areas.
As to the concern: the disposal company says we should put our vegetable compost in a paper bag, then put it in the yard waste bin. We started using Biobags because it makes a ridiculous amount of mess to use a paper bag. When I assured them that the Biobags are 100% degradable/compostable, they said it was OK as long as they were clearly marked as such (otherwise, the plant workers would assume it was regular plastic and not accept it). However, these Biobags are not marked with large, easy-to-read lettering that would it clear to a plant worker at a glance. Is there any way to add such lettering? To this day, I have no idea what they actually do with our Biobags of compost at the plant; maybe it's getting thrown into regular trash despite all our efforts.
Thank you for your consideration and, despite these concerns, thank you for offering a biodegradable product like the Biobags.

I feel like 'The Martha Stewart' of compost pails. It is so easy & neat to use; doesn't even allow seepage so there's no washing the pail.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Super easy to use. When the bag is full in my kitchen counter composter I just grab it and pitch it out in the big outdoor composter. Definitely less messy than cleaning out the composter everytime. I love the fact that everything gets composted with no sorting involved, just toss and go.

Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags are great for lining kitchen compost can. We can just pick up the bag and take it to the outside compost bin. I sometimes empty the bag into the pile so the material will break down faster, but at least they will break down quickly in commercial waste removal
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Great for keeping kitchen scraps in a crock before transferring to a compost bin--helps control messiness.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
This is great. I no longer have to constantly rinse my compost pail nor do I have fruits zipping all over the place. By place the bag into my pail, found at a local discount store and not specifically meant for composting, it seals the lid. Fruit flies have no access and smells do not escape. Plus, I can just pull the bag anytime. Only draw back is that if you have numberous bags in your composter it becomes difficult to aerate without hitting a sealed bag. But I figure if the bags decomposed any faster they would do so in my pail and what good would that be.

Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use BioBags to line a counter top stainless steel bucket used to collect food scraps for the compost bin. Without the bags the bucket had to be washed often. The bags keep the bucket clean, reduce odor, and make it easy to carry the waste outside to the compost bin and dump waste and bag right into the bin. Clean and simple.
The bags seem to decay slowly so I'll withhold judgment on the long term usefulness.

My sister gave me a roll of these a few years back and boy, I am glad she did. It jump-started my composting "habit" by making is easier, cleaner and more efficient. One package (100 bags) lasted me two years (I live in MN and only compost kitchen scraps from Mar-Oct). The bags are sturdy, yet they decompose quickly. I'll be ordering these for years to come.

Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
This is my first year using the bags. I like the cleanliness of them and taking them to the compost bin without taking the whole container. Thank you for a good product.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
My only complaint about the bags is that they leak. So I usually have to still carry out my bucket and it still needs to be cleaned. But at least it is a simple wipe to clean, no longer scraping the bucket. I would probably only recommend these for use duing the winter months were you don't want to be getting your hands wet trying to scrape out the bucket onto your pile.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags are great. By using them to line the compost container in the kitchen, you only need to rinse the container occasionally with water and you don't have to scrape out the slimey juices at the bottoms or the coffee grounds!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Bought a handsome compost bin for the kitchen. Thought the bags would be nice to keep it clean and keep the bin in kitchen. (I usually leave the bin outside b/c I get distracted.) The moisture from the scraps comes through the bag (which is why it composts I assume)and it hangs over the sides. I tried to put it all in the container, but because it sweats it is wet when you open the bag. I would probably rather clean the bin outside with the hose than continuously touch the slimy bag.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Great for all kinds of kitchen scraps and makes it so easy to get 4 or 5 days worth of scraps to the compost pile.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I keep an airtight compost bucket lined with one of these biobags next to my cat's litter box. It serves as an in-between collection spot for clumped litter until I take it out to the garbage...about every 2 days.

We have the compost jar from Gardeners on the counter by the sink. The bags are easy to change BUT be careful-they do leak!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I actually use these as liners in my bedroom and bathroom trash cans. They are the perfect size. I used them in my counter top crock for veggie scraps, but I didn't feel they composted fast enough in my outdoor composter. I may try again though because it did help keep the crock clean.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
This is the first time I have bought the Bio Bags..I think they are a good idea if you are busy and still want to compost..I think they wil work out great for me
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
these bags are very handy, no doubt, but tearing from the roll resulted in torn bags. I also found them to leak liquids, but that can be eliminated by being more careful about what's added. We have a large tumbler composter and they're great for that.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags make emptying the kitchen compost bucket much easier, especially at night when we can just toss the bag into the bin instead of trying to scrape the bits off the bottom of the pail. They're big enough to close up the bag for carrying but that also means they hang over our bucket a bit. It doesn't look as neat (we keep it right on our kitchen counter) but the convenience is worth it. Haven't been using them long enough to see how well they'll decompose in the compost.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The bio bags are a good idea and I like that I can toss everything in the compost pile. The only downside is that they work a little too quickly and if you let them sit longer than a few days, the liquid in them can start to seep through. But, I would still recommend.I use them in the compost pail for the cabinet.

We use these in the kitchen compost bucket. Originally I got them as a Christmas gift and thought they were a good idea but a little pricey. They have turned out to be worth the price. We can easily transport the bag of kitchen scraps to the big compost pile and they keep things neat.
They sometimes split or rip, so you need to be careful not to count on them to not drop everthing out of them.

I have a Naturemill composter and these bags do not work in my composter. They just get tangled up. For other composters, I'm sure that they would be great.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags work very well. Other reviews have stated concerns about the strength of the bags, but we have filled them to capacity and carried them out without any problems. The only problem is that the bag falls into the container, but this was easily solved with a rubber band around the opening of the container. Would definitely recommend these bags for keeping you kitchen container cleaner.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Be careful when tearing bags off of the roll or you'll tear into the bag.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use them primarely for garbage that is going to the landfill. I'm always trying to get a little greener. I don't need bags for my compost. They hold up very well even when allot of liquid is in them. Extra care has to be taken when seperating the bags from the roll. I destroyed a few before I got the hang of it.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I like these bags for both the lining purpose for which they are designed, but also for doing the weekly maintenance on house plants, flowers, etc...can use this bag to gather debris and then toss into the compost, bag and all...decomposes quickly. Does NOT preclude need to wash out compost bucket each time it is emptied.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
We use this as liners for our kitchen composter. It is an easy and convenient way to dispose of certain kitchen scraps, and protect the composter.
We brought a bag of these to our CSA banquet, as a door prize. The reaction was a surprise. Some had never seen such an item, and many wanted to know where to buy them.
We also use these as a substitute when disposing of cat waste. Though the bags are a bit expensive for this purpose, we prefer the idea of not using plastic bags.

Very easy to carry out to the outside compost pile. No need to use or transfer to a plastic garbage bag to haul out to compost pile.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I recently started composting kitchen scraps and I am very happy with the Bio-bags. The bags are stronger than expected and I am able to carry the bag to the compost bins without worrying about the bag breaking or leaking. I have not used the bags long enough to report on the time needed for the bags to break down.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Just purchased these so time will tell how they break down into compost. Certainly do cut back on the mess of constantly cleaning the container though.

I've kept a bucket in my kitchen for years, and these bio-bags take the cake!!! love, love, love them!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These make composting so easy and clean. Now I don't have to worry about having to clean up the compost pail!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These really help keep the mess down in regards to our kitchen scrap pail. They're great in that we can just toss the whole bag right in to the composter!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Here's another way to use these bags--I line a small bucket with one and put the clumps scooped out of the kitty litter box in it, close up the top and toss into the garbage every other day. It's a perfect solution for us since we've sworn off using regular plastic bags.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Bags work great with the stainless bucket I also bought. There is very little odor and it makes adding to my composter fast and easy.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
The bags make composting much easier. Clean up of the buck is fast. Just remove the bag and place the entire thing in your compost bin. No odor and no bag to throw out.

We use these in our City supplied small green food scraps plastic containers when we don't have an empty 1/2 gallon milk box. They actually hold more. Especially odd shaped and not easily compressed food scraps (i.e., bones and large fruit rinds.)

When I saw these bags in the catalog I said I must try them. I love them! Never will I go without them. No more struggling to get all the contents of the pail to dump into my outdoor compost container. No more washing out of a yucky smelly compost pail...and no more cleaning of the sink strainer after doing so. It also seems the compost pail doesn't smell anymore (even though I use the filters, after several days it would start to smell). No one in the house hesitates to take the compost out now that it is so easy.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I take waste out to the composter more promptly and with much less mess. The bags do seem to be too large for my crock and the edges loosely hang way down outside it which is less attractive.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use it for vegetable trimmings, coffee grounds and egg shells in the kitchen. Just dump bag and all into the composter. Don't have to scrub the container.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use this in a smaller compost pail. There is only one size of Biobag available, which is much bigger than my pail. So I have some sloppy looking edges that hang over the edges of the compost pail. But, that is still better than cleaning out the pail every time I empty it!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
A very helpful composting aid. These bags are strong, but decompose in about 15 days in summer warmth.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Throw away the bag? How cool is that? I buy this product for all my composting friends and family. (Perfect stocking stuffer!)

Biobags make composting clean and easy.

Talk about NEAT! No longer have to deal with plastic bags! Just toss it ALL into my garden composter for future rich garden soil.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Works great to keep scraps concise and fruit flies away. Bags are a bit fragile and will rip when overloaded. Just don't fill them all the way!
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
These bags come in an easy to tear off roll, strong so they don't fall apart on their way to the garden; no odor issues and hold a large amount...I use them with the Gardeners Compost Crock that sits elegantly on my counter, easily accessible. Easy habit to get your family to participate in.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
Absolutely love this product. The best part is no more moldy, stinky compost pail to clean out. We compost so much from our kitchen that we fill our pail almost daily. I think it is ingenious that the bags are made from biodegradable cornstarch - no guilt about creating more waste for the environment. I haven't had them long enough to know how long it will take to degrade - but they don't degrade before they should while still in the house. They stand up well and do not leak or tear. Love, love, love the no messy compost pail to clean aspect.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I use this product for collection of most of my kitchen scraps, but find that if you leave it in the can for a week, it will most likely leak. Also if not extremely careful when removing from roll of bags, you can easily tear the bag at the perforation.

The bag makes it easy to get into the routine of using the waste.
Comments about Biobag™, 100 Bags:
I keep these bags to line a compost crock on my kitchen counter next to the coffee maker, convenient for us and easy to use ( we use a beautiful crock purchased last year from Gardeners Supply). I love the way these bags easily contain the drippy mess, and somehow stay intact until they have been a few weeks in the compose pile. they compost completely and quickly!

Degrade seems slow. Tended to freeze up the electric compost rotator.
