Comments about BioBags™:
Any body that eats ought to compost but having a large system is not practical for seniors. THe compost bags makes it quick, easy and neat. It does not require large pieces of equipment nor large spaces: just a shovel and a plot of ground to bury the full bag.

Fantastic!!!
from Corning, NY on 5/31/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I have a compost container on my kitchen counter all year long. Often the contents of the container start to liquify before the container is full, making emptying and cleaning the container a messy job. With the BioBags, I can lift the entire bag from the container and throw into my large garden composter without the mess.
Comments about BioBags™:
2 years ago I purchased your biobag "fully compostable and biodegradable" and have used them daily since. Imagine my surprise when I open my composter this past week to empty it into my vegetable garden and find every single biobag I used in my compost NOT "fully compostable and biodegradable"! I have been a customer for many years and am extremely disappointed in this product's performance. I will not use the bags that are left...I will probably throw them in the landfill with the others that did not do as purported to do.
from Pensacola, FL on 5/27/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
Previously, I either had to wash out the kitchen compost bin or use shopping bags that got messy and had to be thrown away. Now, with the biobag, I just toss the kitchen scraps into the composter, bag and all. Couldn't be easier or cleaner!
from Sacramento, CA on 5/26/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I like these bags. I take the kitchen compost out to the yard once or twice a week. The bags hold up well during this time span. I did have an issue with tearing a new bag, trying to separate it from the bundle, but that only happened once. I've tossed 4-5 in the composter and only the most recent bags have not decomposed.

Love the large capacity of liner
from Delta, PA on 5/25/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
These bags have a large capacity and work well with the crock compost pot. I am on my second batch of 100 and will continue to purchase. They hold up much better to wet (like coffee grounds) than I had expected. On the occasion where the bag tore upon removal or leaked from too much wet scraps, I just carried the whole pot to the compost pile and dumped it there. I used to line the compost pot with paper towels to make the removal of the compost easy, but the bags work much better. I would recommend this product.

Comments about BioBags™:
I use these in the composter pot. They don't seem to decompose as fast as I thought they would.

Comments about BioBags™:
Great to use, easy to empty compost pail, but some of the bags are torn on the insides and not just on the ends.
from Austin, Texas on 5/21/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
These bags are so nice! They fit perfectly in the galvanized compost bucket, and they make it so easy to take all the compostable materials outside. I don't even want to think about having to clean the bucket each time I empty it, and I'm glad I haven't had to yet. Some condensation collects between the bag and the bucket, but it wipes right off with a paper towel and hasn't affected the strength of the bag at all. I don't love the price, but I'm sure enjoying them.

I use the bio bags in my kitchen compost pail. Size is appropriate. Bags tear and leak easily.
from NH on 5/17/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I'm surprised that these bags have the strength to hold my kitchen scraps. When I first saw it, I felt sure it would tear apart with the weight of a "load." They haven't! Makes the trip to the composter easier.
from Bedford, OH on 5/17/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I love the biobags that I use in my compost bin under the sink. The best part is when it's full I just lift out the bag and take it out to my composter in the garden. The only problem I had was cantaloupe seeds/rind did leak. So next time I'll have to take it directly to the garden instead of waiting a day or two.
from Lakewood, PA on 5/13/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I like the product very much but the last order had side seams ripped which made it impossible to hold contents. When they are intact it's nice not to have to drag the entire canaster out to the compost pile. all I have to di it pull out the bag and go.
from Atlanta, GA on 5/13/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I've only had these bags for a month, so I am not sure how easily they'll decompose, but otherwise they do what they're supposed to. They're very thin so you have to be careful what you put in them. If you don't have a "scraps" container with a lid, just twist them shut to keep the fruit flies out. So far, I really like these bags.
from Trinity, FL on 5/11/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I am amazed how much I actually am composting. I did not realize how much organic waste was going into the trash that now is going to my compost.
from Greenbrier,Ar on 5/10/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
These bags are somewhat disappointing. They leak and tend to slip down into the compost pail. They do help reduce the cleaning of the pail and if you put a rubber band around the outside of the pail and bag the bag won't slip.They do compose but very slowly in an open pile. Not for tumbler composer.

Biodegradable bags useful for carrying compost from kitchen to compost bin. Best when used with crock.

Solves my main problem -- trying to scrape coffee grounds out of the bottom of my bucket. But the bags do leak and the bucket needs to be rinsed between uses.

So far so good. Bags hold a decent amount and make it easy and CLEAN to move scraps out to the composter.

Comments about BioBags™:
This is the 3rd batch of bags I have ordered. They make it cleaner and easier to compost. I think they are terrific. They look a little weird on my compost pile until they dissolve but then again it is a compost pile.
from Silver City New Mexico on 5/6/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I love the biobags! They are large and hold a great deal of kitchen waste. I have been able to reuse a bag a couple of times before disposing of it. The bags have eliminated the mess and smell of collecting compostable items in my kitchen.

Comments about BioBags™:
I bought these over year ago thinking they would be a convenient way to empty my kitchen compost pail into my compost bin. The bags are still in tact and I have had to fish them out of my composter in order for the contents to start working. I liked the idea but it does not work for me.

Comments about BioBags™:
love the product, may be a little too large for efficiency and the crock I use, but better too big than small
from Annapolis, MD on 5/3/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
You would think composts quickly would be a PRO but since I use them to line my indoor scrap collector by day 3 or 4 it already started to degrade before I could get it outside to the compost bin. It dripped on the floor in the kitchen......Gross! I know to change every 2 days or so, but it might get expensive buying that many bags.
from Hubbardston, MA on 5/2/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
The only Con would be that you cannot leave items in the full container with the liner for an extended time. The liner will eventually begin to break down. Take the container with the liner to the compost pile, thus preventing a mess on the floor.
from Albuquerque on 5/2/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
Too soon to tell if these compost easily. They are a little delicate and they stick together when you unroll the first back. That made some holes but since they cost about [$] per bag, I just tied knots in the bag and used it anyway.

It stands up if you get rid of the bag before a weeks time, especially if you put coffee grounds in it. I think they are great except for that.

Comments about BioBags™:
My daughter in law gave me the counter pail for Christmas a year ago. I promptly ordered the bio bags. After using several and puting them in the compost pile, I still have them when I turn the compost in my compost tumbler. Do I need a large compost pile to get hot enough to disolve the bags?
Also, I let the kitchen scraps stay in the counter pail for several weeks last year. Since there was no odor and I wasn't cooking much, I forgot them. The scraps got maggots and some of the maggots were embedded in the filter.
At least for me, the bags are not an alternative to putting my kitchen scraps in a plastic container in which strawberries came from the store. I then take the scraps out every other day. Coffee grounds go in a large old coffee container and are taken out to the compost pile weekly.

Comments about BioBags™:
LOVE THESE! I used to make trip after trip out to the pile, but now I can save up for a few days with no mess or odor. I installed the little bucket made by BioBag under the kitchen sink where many folks have a garbage pail. It's so easy there is just no excuse!
from Boone, NC on 4/21/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I have only used these a few weeks, but they are strong enough to get the full bag to my compost heap. I don't know yet how fast they compost in the pile.
from Lonedell, MO on 4/21/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
The bags for the Kitchen Composter are great because you don't have to carry the bucket itself out to the compost pile...and I'm out smarting the critters as they don't know how to get into it!

from Boston,MA on 4/21/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
These bags are convenient and help control odor, but I found that they take too long to biodegrade. I'll probably use up the ones I have and then discontinue using them.
from White Hall, MD on 4/21/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
These things are a must-have if you have a kitchen composter. They make getting the scraps to the backyard composter so much easier, and cut down on the odor and mess in the kitchen composter. I'd give them 5 stars if they composted faster.
from Sutton, MA on 4/21/2011

I use these bags all the time in my kitchen composter. Easy to take out and just dump in my yard composter

from Killeen Texas on 4/20/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
So easy to pull the bag and toss it in the compost pile. The bag contains the scraps so animals are less likey to dig in the compost.
from Las Cruces, NM on 4/18/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I don't have a fancy compost container near the sink and the bag is too big for mine. I usually cut off about 4" which I hate to waste when they are expensive. It would be nice if the manufacturer offered more than one size. But I like the fact that they do disintegrate eventually, although in our dry climate it takes a while.
Over all, I find the products in your catalog too expensive for me, but they sure are pretty.

from Santa Monica, CA on 4/12/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I love these for keeping my counter top compost bucket clean and odor free, but they will not degrade in my outdoor compost bin. After leaving them in there for months at first, I finally fished them all out and put them in the trash. They might degrade in a very high heat compost or in a professional unit. I still like them for helping to deal neatly with kitchen scraps.

Much better than the old bags. These don't split easily and they fit the ceramic compost container well.

We sit our composter close to the trash can and it helps us to remember to use the compost pail. It is light weight and easy to remove from pail.

Comments about BioBags™:
The bags do help keep the pail order free and easy to clean. The bags are a bit flimsy and some tend to leak. Need to be very careful tearing them from the roll or they could tear. Wish the product was sturdier but better then no bag at all.

from Rochester, NY on 4/4/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
These bags are really nice. They fit the kitchen compost pail well. It's nice not to have to throw out the old plastic grocery bags I was using. I can't comment on the biogradability of the bag since I haven't used my compost yet. That's why I only gave it 4 stars.
from Becket, MA on 4/2/2011

We use Bio-bags for composting kitchen scraps, coffee grounds, etc. They're quick and easy and compost quickly. We bought a compost jar for our two adult daughters and their families as well as a supply of bio-bags to get them started.

The bags are especially nice in the winter, when it is so cold outside to stand and scrape the compost pail over the compost bin. Just take out the little bag and toss it in..perfect!
from Pittsburgh, PA on 3/29/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I love the convenience of this product. I place one liner in my compost pail and it is easy to walk out to my compost pile every few days. Curiously, however, they must have some slight scent . . . my dog, Gus, is obsessed with the bags! Thankfully, he hasn't attacked the pail yet.

from Mechanicsburg, PA on 3/23/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I got a Stainless Steel Compost Bucket and these bags together. I should have done this years ago! The bags keep the bucket clean. There are two in this household and one bag usually holds about a week's worth of scraps for us. When I tie it up and take to the compost bin, I just have to wipe the inside of the bucket with a paper towel to get the mild moisture build up. Neat and clean and easy! I thought they were too expensive at first, but seeing how well they work has made me a customer for life. My only complaint is that the perforations between bags are not adequate. I end up cutting the bags apart with scissors to keep from tearing them. They ARE too expensive to waste any!

from Petaluma, California on 3/17/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
A much-needed "green" solution for household waste -- anything organic can just go into a BioBag spread like a trash bag inside a small waste container, then be dumped into an outdoor mulch spot (or into a receptacle for curbside organic waste pickup, for those areas that have such), bag and all. They will begin to leak fluid sometimes if they have a week's worth of food scraps / coffee grounds in them -- but that is because of its biodegradable nature! Thank you for making this product available.
from New Hampshire on 3/17/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
It is great that they compost quickly, but sometimes it is too quickly and you go to pick up the bag and it has biodegraded in the bottom of the compost bucket.

I wondered if these bags would be worth it when I ordered and they really are. They are so strong and make it quick and easy to dispose of the kitchen scraps. And being biodegradable, I just toss them on the compost pile.

Comments about BioBags™:
These make composting kitchen scraps a snap and not messy!!! Do be careful tearing them off the roll, these are not plastic kitchen trash bags, so can split easily. If they do, they are so full, I just overlap the torn sides and still don't have a mess in my compost jar when I transfer the bag to my compost tumbler.
from Little Rock, Arkansas on 3/11/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
They are too large for the stoneware compost pot I ordered. They hang out over the side and I feel they take away from the beauty of the pot. I will use them when I have large amounts of waste to dispose of and don't have room in my stoneware compost pot.

We bought these so that we wouldn't have to wash out our compost bucket. They leak, so I still have to wash the bucket. Now I'm double bagging and it's a better. With having to use 2 at a time, and the high cost [...]-- this is an expensive way to go. They do have a large capacity though.

from Denver, CO on 3/4/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I use these bags in my kitchen compost crock and they fit the container well and are very convenient. However, I've had two or three break on me when I lifted them out which was nasty (I've used about 100 so far). My main issue with them is that they don't biodegrade very fast. When my compost is ready the bags are still virtually intact inside my compost tumbler. So now I only use them in the spring and summer when the compost matures faster.

Comments about BioBags™:
I had seen some reviews that said these were flimsy and tore easily, but that has not been my experience. They do leak a little, but not so badly that I wouldn't use them again. I've filled them w/ probably 3lbs+ of foods scraps (a lot of potatoes that went bad) and it held. Haven't used them long enough to see if they compost well.

The container i was using was messy and not very nice to keep in my kitchen. I also hated washing it out. Then my friend told me about the compostable bags you sold. These bags totally solved my problems. They're easy to use and super easy to dispose of. They do feel flimsy when you remove them from the container; but i've yet to have one break. I think they're stronger than they appear! Great invention! I will continue to purchese these marvelous bags.

Will leak a bit if you leave it in the pail too long and it starts to degrade some.
from Whitehouse, NJ on 2/3/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
Makes taking out the compost easier and cleaner, and cleaning up the pail easier. One drawback is that the bags will leak moisture, but much better than not using a liner at all. They also do not always compost completly, but we are more of a pile-it-up-and-let-it-rot composers, no mixing and fussing with the pile.

This is the first time I have ordered the BioBags, and I like them a lot. They are a good size for the compost bin I keep in my kitchen, they hold a lot more than I thought they would and everything is odor free.

I line a tall hand made compost pot with the bags and it's right next to my sink for easy use. I put a folded papertowel in the bottom of my compost pot as I found licquds at the bottom of the bag starts the bag breakdown. I empty weekly or when full. I ordered these for Christmas gifts this year.. I love not having to pick out plastic from my compost heap.

Comments about BioBags™:
This product was better when they were the opaque color. When they changed them to the green color, they tear so easily that you have to be careful just infolding and getting them ready to put into your pail. They still work well and I use them all the time, but they were stronger before.

I use them in a compost pail under the sink. I like the fact that they are made in Norway.
I also like that I can throw the whole bag into the compost pile and it will dissapear with the rest of the stuff--sometimes I just bury the whole thing into the garden soil.
The only thing I can say bad is that sometimes it leaks--but you carry your pail out anyway.

Each day I can bag up my scraps and set them outside in a basket on my porch ountil I walk to the compost pile at the back of my yard. It saves our kitchen from unwanted fruit flies and smells.

from Loveland, OH on 1/8/2011
Comments about BioBags™:
I line my kitchen compost bin with these. When they work well I can just lift them out and carry them to the compost bin and just dig them in. Sometimes they leak (or possibly condensation forms on the outside). Occasionally they tear when I'm removing them from the roll. Other than the waste this is not a big issue. Overall I find using them much easier than carrying out the pail each time. My husband thinks they degrade too slowly and empties them and puts them in the garbage. Note: because of the occasional leakage the pail does need to be washed frequently.

This is a really neat product to make composting easier and neater. I have yet to observe how quickly the bags decompose over time. They last for several weeks in the bin though.

We use these bags to line our kitchen counter compost holder. They are wonderful because the decompose and they are made of natural ingredients so they don't poison our compost.
Sometimes they degrade too quickly so we have to carry the pail out to the composter, but that's no big deal.

These bags make emptying the kitchen compost so much easier.
Their only drawback is that they are a bit flimsy & we double them up in our compost container.

Comments about BioBags™:
These bags make composting kitchen scraps a snap. My compost pail stays clean and the bag goes right into my Bokashi composter. The bags are big enough for my larger counter top composting pail. A knot tied in the bag keeps it nicely in place while the pail fills.

I use these bags in my kitchen composter. When it is full, I simply pull it out and take it to the big composter outside. The only problem I have with these bags is that they tear easily, so I just have to be careful when handling. Sure helps with cleanup!

I use this product with the copper compost bin that I also purchased. It makes life so much easier to have the bags so you don't have to constantly clean the bin out. I haven't seen how they degrade in the compost pile, but so far I'm impressed with them.
from Newtown, CT on 12/6/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
Great for lining the kitchen compost pail and does really eliminate scrubbing. Just rinse the pail and dry before inserting a fresh bag. The fact that the bag top needs to hang over the outside of the compost pail is a little untidy looking but it is worth it. Rate of breakdown of the bag in the outdoor compost seems to be related closely to the moisture level and temperature of the pile (more is better).
from Tiverton, RI on 12/6/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
The bags I just recently received are visibly different than the last order and I am hoping that they biodegrade faster than the old green ones. My compost has large unattractive scraps of green plastic in it after over a year in the bin. I find this most undesireable.
from Niantic, CT on 12/3/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
I used to sometimes just trash the compostables because I didn't want to deal with the "yuck" factor -- things like winter squash pulp, for example. These bags make me a better environmentalist by making it so neat and easy to compost everything. I don't know how I got along without them!

from Flower Mound TX on 11/23/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
I love the idea. Sometimes it works well and sometimes not. The bags tear easily when trying to remove one from the roll so care must be taken not to ruin it. Don't over stuff your compost pail and it works well. I love it when I can take it out without the pail but I usually don't due to leaking. It often depends on what you put in the bag. I suggest crushing egg shells before putting them in the bag. My pail does not get emptied everyday and that probably makes a difference.

Biobags work well and are easy to use. However, for a two-person household, we don't fill it fast enough and they tend to start breaking down by the end of a week. They are still a good product. I will buy more.

Very attractive on my counter, no nasty odors, doesn't leak, etc. Love the liners too as they can be put right in the compost bins. The bags do leak but that's to be expected.

Comments about BioBags™:
I use these bags to contain all kinds of kitchen scraps in my compost pail. It does a great job of containing everything, including liquids, without breaking down in the pail. They will take a few weeks to break down once you move them to the compost pile, FYI. Great product!
from Upstate New York on 11/2/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
The best thing about these bags is I no longer have compost clinging on my compost bucket, which makes washing the bucket much nicer. There is always liquid in the bottom, maybe from condensation or leaking, but that's not a problem in my mind. They also break down well in our compost building. You have to be a bit careful when tearing it off the roll, or it may rip.

I have a compost bucket or two but do not use them, as I keep a compost-Bio-Bag bag in the freezer. Add coffee grounds, fruit or veggie peelings, whatever you want in your compost pile, into the bag and place back into freezer. As the quick cold takes over, the new additions do not leak. When full, take out and toss onto compost pile. It will defrost onto the pile. I always add a few handfuls of dirt or other available compost on top to get things started.

I use these for fruit and veggie wastes from the kitchen, my unbleached coffee filter and grinds, egg shells, etc. I have had no trouble with leaking and it's wonderful to be able to pull the entire bag and toss it in the compost pile and not even have to wash my crock. I have a compost pile I started this fall that is active and turned it after two weeks and found no bags. The time saving of no mess in the kitchen to clean up make these worth the price.

It doesn't work as a liner for the kitchen compost pail, since it quickly develops leaks, but it does help get the compost out of the pail easily and does not stick to the pail. It doesn't compost very quickly in the bin, but becomes porous enough to do no harm.

We haven't had any seepage or breaking bags. We don't feel the bags are too flimsy, because any thicker would make breakdown longer.

Comments about BioBags™:
I like these bags to line my kitchen compost pail. The only problem I have with them is that if I throw coffee grounds into the pail and then I don't empty it within a few days it will leak coffee. It's not really a big deal to me though,I just carry the whole pail out to empty it and then rinse out my pail. Much better than no bag at all, and it is really quite durable otherwise, I don't think anyone can expect a compostable bag to hold in liquids for any period of time. I will continue to use these bags....!

As someone who eats a lot of veggies, I was glad to finally find an easy way to recycle kitchen scraps with little fuss or fanfare. The biodegradable liners for my counter-top composting container were ideal. My only negative comment has to do with the size of the bags. My counter-top container is small but the only liners I found online were twice the size. Other than that, good product.

I use the bags every day. They certainly are less messy and I can dump the entire contents of my compost bucket into the composter.

I'll continue to buy/use.

The first time I used one of these bage, I waited several days to take it to the composter. True to it's promise, it is definitely biodegradable. The bag had already started to "melt" and that one time I definitely had to wash out my bucket. Now I take my garbage, bag and all, out to the composter every day or two. It is really a time and work saver. I have been looking for a product of this type since I started composting a couple of years ago.

I've used these liner bags for years and like that they cut down on the mess from collecting compostable kitchen scraps. I don't find that it's true that there is no need to carry out the pail to the compost pile because the bags do leak once they are filled with scraps. However the fact that they are biodegradable certainly makes up for that.

I really like these bags and have used them for years. It's unfortunate, as others have pointed out, that they do leak after a few days with wet things like coffee grounds in them.

Comments about BioBags™:
Anything and everything that can be composted from my kitchen goes into my compost pail. Before getting the bio bags emptying the pail and rinsing it was quite the chore, especially during the winter months. No more mess, no more rinsing and scrubbing. Thank you Gardener's for a wonderful product.

from Alexandria, VA on 8/12/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
used to collect coffee grounds and filters as well as vegetable scraps in my kitchen compost cannister. I thought the liner would permit me to skip washing the cannister but, because the bags leak, I have to wash the cannister after every time I dump the load into the composter.

Comments about BioBags™:
HAvent used it long enough to tell if it composts quickly, but they're easy to use and handy. Keeps from having to do that noxious job of cleaning the compost pail.

Comments about BioBags™:
Very happy with the bags.
Comments about BioBags™:
Great for storing food scraps to compost but bags don't decompose, even after two years. We had to break the bags to compost the food.
Comments about BioBags™:
The BioBags are great for the kitchen crock but when we place them in our large composters they are not been composting. Six months later they are still intact mixed throughout the compost. Great for the kitchen counter size daily compost crocks but not when we move that to the outdoors compost.
from Farmington, MI on 8/7/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
They are extremely easy to use, and make the collection of kitchen food scraps tolerable even for my husband. The trip to the outside composter is no longer a messy and noxious one and they make cleanup easy. They look fragile but are surprisingly sturdy. I will continue using these and have already recommended them to friends. Five stars.

Comments about BioBags™:
Keeps the kitchen compost pail clean. The bags lap over the sides just enough to have a rubber band hold them in place.

these bags dissolved before a day of use especially if anything wet ie: coffee grounds, moist peels is used in them.
from Elizabethtown, KY on 8/4/2010

Handy with Kitchen scraps and easily composts. Does leak when it gets wet which is one reason it easily composts.

Comments about BioBags™:
Makes it easy to put scraps in composter & is neat. No messy cleanup.
from Franktown, CO on 8/3/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
It is a great concept - the bags begin to break down when kitchen scraps are added and when it is time to transport to the composter, they are leaking and no longer have the ability to hold the contents. Suggestion - transfer to a bowl then carry them both to the composter.
from Houston, TX on 7/30/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
Using the Biobags for compost scraps keeps my kitchen trash cleaner and odor free. As an avid gardener I use the compost as fertilizer to grow healthy plants.
from Boonsboro, MD on 7/28/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
As many others have said, these bags work great until you put something wet in them (like coffee grounds). Unfortunately, that's the majority of what we compost from the kitchen! If you're mostly using them for fruit rinds and other dry kitchen scraps, though, they're great.
from PA on 7/28/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
Does compost quickly so you need to change bags before they start leaking or if you add a lot of wet scraps; is odor free, holds a lot (preferably dry waste); I usually use two bags as one seems to tear off the roll and I sprinkled used baking soda in the bottom of the pail to catch any drips or leaks; I use the plastic pail attached to the inside of my under sink cabinet and it fills up quickly! MUCH better than plastic bags
from Lisbon, Illinois on 7/27/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
These bags are great. Not only do they keep my Compost Crock clean, but I also use them for cleaning out my refrigerator fruit and vegetable bins. I just take a bag with me to the fridge and throw unusable fruits and veggies in the bag. The bags hold up well and makes it easy to throw my kitchen scraps into the compost bin.

These bags are pretty great, until you put in something wet. Otherwise, they held up for a while until the weekly compost drop-off. A little small.

Great product, use several each seek.
from Upstate NY on 7/21/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
Great product. Contains my compostable material and makes it easy to transport to the compost pile. I have found that if you add liquid items (coffee grounds, wet fruit skins, etc., the bags do saturate easily and will drip. I solve that by taking the entire compost pail out, and then discarding the bag and contents outdoors.
from NJ on 7/21/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
A great product. We love being able to produce our own compost but cleaning out the crock every time was a bummer. These bags really do the trick and it I love them!
from Dallas, Texas on 7/19/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
I used to collect compostable items from my kitchen is a recycled grocery store bag and then empty them into the composter.....messy,smelly, and then I still had to dispose of the plastic bag. These composter bags used as a liner in one of your stainless steel collectors makes the whole process clean and easy with little odor. This is a great product.

Tear bags off strip slowly and carefully to avoid tearing into the bag. Discard to compost pile frequently.
from Wetumpka, AL on 7/17/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
I use these bags everyday and have my neighbors using them too (I reap the benefits of their scraps until they set up their own compost pile!). My neighbors freeze their scraps in these bags and when I pick them up from them they are easy to transport and they compost more quickly than raw scraps. When the bags leak, I carry out the kitchen pot (no biggie); my neighbors use another plastic bag to store the leaky bags in the freezer...win win....you really can't beat this product!
from Manning, SC on 7/16/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
I generally like this product. Towards the end of the roll, the bags were tearing up. I still have to take the crock with me, but the crock is easier to clean.

from Fort Smith Arkansas on 7/16/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
An excellent product - just need to remember to dump daily or every other day at most as a few in each roll will leak.
This is my third time to order and we've been satisfied every time!

from Ithaca, NY on 7/14/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
I love these bags because they minimize the clean up I have to do. I throw one in my compost bucket, fill it up, then walk it out to the composter. It's really that easy!
from Los Angeles on 7/13/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
These bags hold a lot of kitchen scraps awaiting transport to the compost pile. They are surprisingly quick to disappear from the pile. I guess the price you pay for that is they are a little flimsy and sometimes break before you get there--handle with care and they are fine!
from Norwood NJ on 7/12/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
This is the answer to my problem. I hated emptying the plastic bags into the compost and then carrying the slimy wet bag to the garbage can to dispose of it. Great product.
from Lincoln, Ca on 7/11/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
Love the bags! They make compost removal from my crock so neat and clean. Seems to help control odor too. The bags are large and hang out of my crock which is not as attractive, but I love not having to clean the stinky sludge out of my crock.
Comments about BioBags™:
These bags are great but a bit too large for my compost crock. I wish they came in different sizes for the different style crocks. They're a bit pricey but a great help and prevents you from having to clean out your crock when it is time to empty! Best of all...they're biodegradable!!!
from Nevada on 7/8/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
These bags are handy; however, you will not want to put coffee grounds or other liquid stuff in them for a long period of time, because they do leak. I believe mostly due to their composting ability. Anyway, I also have to put a rubberband around the top to keep it from falling in, which is really no big deal. Overall I would recommend you try them and see for yourself if you like them. I do plan on buying more.
from South Jersey on 7/8/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
The bags are great in the kitchen crock. I left scraps in for over a week and had some leakage from the bag but I should empty the crock more often. There is no odor when used with the filters. The bags will get pricey if you empty the crock often.

Works well for all my kitchen composting. I am glad that I tried them and will buy them again.

Our "soil" comes in small, medium and half-ton size so composting is a necessity to grow plants. This product is so usefull and convient year round to make composting quick and painless.

Comments about BioBags™:
I just received my new order of bio-bags in hopes that they will perform better than my last batch, which frequently tore when coming off the roll. I lost perhaps 10% of the bags from my last order due to such tearing.
from Louisville, KY on 7/4/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
I wanted something easy that I could use with a simple plastic container in my kitchen for orange rinds, coffee grounds, and banana peels. These bags work beautifully and I was pleasantly surprised at their size. I just drop my scraps in and at the end of the week--or two, depending on how much I've collected--I drop the bag, scraps and all into my composter. Quick, easy and ecologically friendly--you just can't beat it.
from Reading, PA on 7/3/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
Glad to find a bag that will decompose with the compost, I don't have to use the grocery store plastic bags and clutter our landfills. I just bought them this year so I have yet to see how well or quickly they decompose.
from Waxhaw, NC on 7/2/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
I use these bags for kitchen waste - the bags leak. I have to carry them to the compost bin in my kitchen pail. There is always liquid in the bottom of my pail which really stinks!!! I empty this waste once per wk - and do not add liquids- the liquids come from the juices of veggies/fruits. I have to throughly wash the pail after each emptying due to leakage liquids.

Comments about BioBags™:
I have the green ceramic compost pail and use these bags religiously. It's SO nice to be able to grab the bag & toss it on our compost pile (though from a distance it looks like we're trying to compost diapers - the neighbors are confused!).
I've torn bags trying to yank them out. A little side-to-side wiggling will get them out intact - just don't pack everything down, trying to get as much as possible into each bag. It's not worth it.

They make composting exceptionally easier, eliminating odor and fruit flies.I even had a visiting bear right next to my compost pail that didn't disturb it at all.
I use the BioBags for household waste baskets also.

from Newburgh, NY on 6/24/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
Handy to use-and-toss, but they do drip a bit and the bag is way bigger than my foot-high kitchen compost pail, so that even when the pail is packed full, i seem to have about 50% too much "bag" for it when i go to toss it into my garden compost bin. Also it's hilarious how it gets wrapped around my winged compost aerator. Still, i'd rather deal with these minor "problems" than to be cleaning my little compost pail all the time. Glad i bought them!
from Marion, NC on 6/24/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
Other than being difficult to open (at times), BioBags are truly wonderful. They are light weight but strong with tremendous capacity. They biodegrade reasonably and are inexpensive. You can't do much better than that.
from Houston, Texas on 6/24/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
I put the scraps from preparing a meal in the bag and stick it in the freezer til I'm ready to take it all, neatly packaged, to the compost bin. It's so convenient to add more until the bag is full. No mess, no smell, no handing rotting stuff! Just take the frozen bag to the bin, drop it in, and cover it up. These bags are great; I use it everyday and gave some to my daughter. Thanks for making it easy!

from Salt Lake, UT on 6/21/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
Very nice to not have to scrub out the compost bin after every use. But they do compost rather slowly, and we still see bits of bag left even when the compost itself is ready to use after many months.
from Orange Beach, AL on 6/18/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
Too early to tell yet as haven't turned compost to assure that BioBags are breaking down as advertised. Should know in another 4-6 weeks. Beginning is promising in kitchen. Would like them in color to match container crock if colorizing can be accomplished in bio-friendly manner (green color does not match my blue crock or kitchen decor base which is blue).
from Lexington, SC on 6/18/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
No more messy bowls of kitchen scraps to empty into the compost pile. I just pile up all yard waste and let it compost on its own and simply dig a hole and add the bag with kitchen scraps.
from Benkelman, NE on 6/18/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
I've been a life-long composter but one of the most "hated" jobs was cleaning the dirty, smelly pail I kept under the kitchen sink to collect kitchen scraps. So, when I saw the BioBags in your catalog, I ordered them immediately. Yes, the pail still has to be cleaned but it's no longer the dreaded job it once was. I'm amazed at how really strong the BioBags are. I've never had one tear. However, the user does need to guard against adding extremely liquid materials.
from Watertown Wi on 6/17/2010
Comments about BioBags™:
It can leak when there is alot of coffee grounds in there, and I fill it to the max. Other wise I love the bags, they are great and save me alot of time when I need to run my compost to the compost outside. Keeps things clean and nice in my kitchen.
Comments about BioBags™:
These bags work great. I've never had them break or leak before getting them to the compost bin. They're a good size so you don't have to run to the compost pile constantly, but not too big where you're tempted to wait too long and things get icky. Love that they compost right along with the scraps.
