Kitchen Maestro Biodegradable Food Waste Compost Bag and Liner, Roll of 50 Bags (6 Liter Capacity) - Safe for home/backyard composting.

We compost a lot around our place. We decided to use the bags as they would save us some work. We ordered this product, wished to cancel the order but it was too late but the price was refunded and we were told to do with the product whatever we wished, so we used them. Truthfully, now I am sorry for having used them. Among our composters, we have a tumbler which produces compost in 2 weeks. We used these bags in our collection pot in our kitchen to catch food scraps and then when full enough, take them to either the tumbler or one of our other composters. At the time I was putting all into the tumbler. After awhile, the tumbler was about half full of compost and plastic bags. I sincerely believe these bags do not compost! The tumbler is so full of them, when I dump the contents, we will have to sort out the bags and throw them away. What a disaster!

these bags are wonderful. they fit my kitchen maestro compost pail perfectly. i use a rubber band to keep it in place as sometimes the bag gets heavy and would naturally slip down. i love that I can throw this in my green compost trash can or in my compost bin depending upon what I have in it. I do bring the entire pail over with me, just in case it starts breaking down a little early. I previously used regular plastic bag that came with my compost pail. it was just a mess to compost without throwing out the bag. I love these!

I love that these bags are actually meant for home composting but we don't know how well they break down yet since we just started using them. The one inconvenience we noticed right away is that we have to use a rubberband to hold the bag in place otherwise everything that gets tossed in the pail will pull the bag down inside. Not sure if this is a real problem since a rubberband is easy to come by when buying veggies packed in bunches. I also wouldn't want to sacrifice the ability of the bags to quickly break down in place of it being more rigid in the pail.

These bags are not cut like the ones you usually get for your kitchen trash. They are narrow and not long enough. The compost will come over the top very easily. I put mine in the compost bin and folded the top over so I could just open it when I wanted to add scraps. There was no way I could fold it over the top of the bin- Even if the bin or smaller, the slippery plastic ( which I do expect with compost bags) along with narrow design pulled inside the bin. This is a poor design for the type of plastic.

These are small for the 1 gallon composting pail - I have one from LINKO. They fall in, so I have to put a rubber band along the top to ensure that they don't. Liquid will leak through, for example, when you put coffee grinds in. Still, it is just a quick rinse of the bucket. I'd rather use compostable then regular bags or none at all.

These are such a better answer to a plastic bag in my compost holder. I still carry the holder to my compost pile and then remove the bag and place it on the compost pile because there is always some liquid that leaks out. But, I just carry it back into the house and wash it out, dry it and place another one of these bags inside the holder.

The biggest problem with these bags is that they "sweat." In other words, I have not seen any holes, but there is always liquid in the compost container (a puddle on the bottom and dampness on the sides). Not sure what's going on there, but it defeats the purpose of using a liner.

If you asked me what I wanted in a compost bag, first on my list would be that it not split open and spill moldy food all over the floor. And this product fails that basic criterion. Couldn't hold 2 handfuls of compost.
