Very easy to compost.: Compost bag

I have been composting and using these for a while. They are VERY compostable which is great for a compostable bag. If you use it for compost, double it. If you're not using enough food to use up a full bag per day (that would be a lot of food), then use that to fill in your compostable organic matter for a few days. We are a family of 3 and I usually use a bag every 1.5 weeks. By the time the bag is ready to be sealed, however, the bottom of the bag has typically already started composting. That is, the bottom began to collapse. However, good composting isn't great when all of your contents end up in the compost bin. To fix this, I put a bag as a liner, a compostable cloth to catch the nasty compost sap that builds up after a week, and then another bag with another compostable cloth on the bottom. Normally I can only remove one package, but if I had a lot of products and I get the problem described above, I remove both packages. I've tried other bags that don't decompose as quickly, but I actually prefer these. I also use them to shop for groceries at the supermarket for take out groceries. Then I use them again and again until they can no longer be used.
