 Compost BioBags, 3 gallon September 12, 2009
A Basset is an Asset (California, USA)
These are nice bags. They do tend to leak, though. To solve that problem I just knot the bottom. When the bag is full, I toss the whole thing into the compost pile. They don't compost quickly; it takes about 6 months for them to start breaking down. Full breakdown seems to be about a year. But we don't turn our "pile" often, or wet it down as often as we should, so more turning and wetting will probably get the bag to compost faster.
 Why spend the money? August 9, 2009

When we bought the stainless steel counter-top compost bin shown in the picture, my wife and I also bought some of the BioBags. She liked them; I didn't. (I like the bin, though). The BioBags are oversized for the bin, so you have to tie them around the rim, overlapping the bin, which ruins the stainless steel look. THen, the bags leaked or split, so I 'd have to bring the whole bin and the bag to the compost pile anyway. When we ran out, I didn't buy more and it's been fine without them. I just run the bin through the dishwasher once in awhile. Regarding degradability, I noticed they didn't break down as quickly the vegetable matter, but they did break down eventually, so they weren't a problem (I just dug them into the soil). Long story short, if you are really into composting, they don't add a lot of value. And they're pricey, to boot. Why spend the money?
 biodegradable--- great! June 28, 2009

I have set the pail on my kitchern counter, with a bag in it, and have almost filled the first bag. It has taken a lot of scraps and leftovers, because there is already some decomposition taking place, so the level in the bag keeps dropping. I am looking forward to being able to simply drop the entire bag into my composter... no more emptying a very messy plastic bag, and then having to get it in a trash can... Just drop this one in and let nature take its course!
Not that great May 23, 2009

We stopped using them. They are pretty flimsy and tended to leak in the compost pail, and they are very slow to break down in the compost heap. We were pretty disappointed overall.
works for me! May 7, 2009

We use an old plastic wastebasket as our kitchen collection bin. The bags are as thin as the produce bags at a grocery store, but they don't stretch as well as plastic would. We haven't had any problems with tearing. But they do leak a little. We compost our (moist) coffee filters and whenever we take out the kitchen compost we have to rinse coffee out of the little bin. But the liners save us from having to really wash out the little bin. Oh, and we do carry out the whole bin when we take the compost outside. We don't try lifting the bag out of the bin, like we do with the trash. It would leak all over the place.
