Do you have to buy composting bags to go with this produce?

Composting bags? Not sure what that is, but no. You just dump all your kitchen scraps in the bucket (and I mean ALL---small bones, meat, everything), and then sprinkle the bokashi bran on top of each layer. When the bucket is totally full, you let it sit for a few weeks and then either dump it in your compost bin outdoors or bury it next to your garden plants. The worms love this stuff. Hope that answers your question.

yes you need to use a bag...there are openings in the container that will let things drop through..I really like mine, and a bag lasts me for weeks...I only use it for coffee grounds and egg shells and than throw the bag on my garden (bags are biodegradable)..

Hi Brenda, Yes you can, but each half storage area is only a few shovels of compost. They do work very well we have taken several batches out since last summer. Hope this is of help.

Illysa Thanks for your inquiry. The use of compostable bags is purely up to choice. Some of our customers like to use the compostable 3 gallon bags because it keeps cleanup of the compost bucket to a minimum. The compost bucket easily slides off the Kitchen Compost Caddy Rack for emptying. It is securely held in place both at the back and fully on the bottom of the bucket. People love the rack because it gets the compost bucket off the Kitchen Counter, and having the ability to lock the lid open with the latch on the Compost Caddy frees up your hands to hold your plate with one hand and scrape food scraps with the other. Or while your prepping your meal the lid can be locked open enabling you to throw all your food waste into the bin without worry of the lid falling closed. People absolutely love our product and I am sure you will also. Thanks again Jeff Evans Kitchen Compost Caddy

yes, you need to use compostable bags, throw them away with their content and they will dissolve in the compost with the food scraps, I use the BioBag but any compostable bag will do

I don't compost i it! I use it as a depository which is emptied every other day into my compost pile.

No it does not. I would assume through the processing and dying of the product, being 100% organic is not feasible. Have you thought of natural jute burlap bags? May not last more than one season and you would have to support them some on the sides, depending on what you wanted to plant.

Probably not unless you use your own grocery or produce bag. The compostible bags suggested for use with this product start to break down as soon as you store your vegie/fruit peels in them.

Yes, you put them right in with the grass,vegetable scraps and leaves. They do a wonderful job of making compost.

Hi! We purchased one of these Toter compost carts, and the compost in the bottom of the cart is finished now. We will use the compost as is, although it does have a few larger pieces. If you wanted uniform compost, you could screen it (here are directions for a homemade compost screen: http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/airwaste/wm/Recycle/Comp_Screen/Build1.htm), and put the larger pieces back in the top of the cart. As, I said, we think it is fine as it is, and it looks and smells finished. - I hope this helps.

I'm not sure if they are sold just for this little can, but I just reuse the little bags I get at the grocery store when I buy fresh vegetables and fruit. They are perfect!

2 banana peals, 3 coffee filters with grounds, 4 egg shells, a handful of pizza crusts and about a dozen of the top sections of strawberries with enough room to add all the rotten kale I failed to eat during the week... In all seriousness I use 3 gallon compostable bags as liners but it's not that big, maybe 2-2.5 gallons. We empty it once or twice a week with a family of 3. It's pretty expensive considering the city of Portland will give you one for free but it looks much nicer than that free plastic pail.

Yes, there is a brochure on composting included. Also, check out the internet for tons of composting info. Very easy and reduces your garbage!

I really love these bags and they come to $3 a bag. I am reading more about pesticides in cotton so wanted organic cotton for my organic fruits and veggies since I am investing a little more with my health in buying organic produce. They have a drawstring. If you buy these be sure to purchase only from Simple Ecoloogy. I also bought their organic grocery bags to put these organic produce bags in right from www.simpleecology.com.

Once you fill the composter, it takes time for it to break down so you can pour it on your garden. If you keep adding stuff, you will eventually have to empty the composter that still has uncomposted stuff in it - then pick that stuff out, or plow it into your garden. Having two chambers allows one to finish decaying while you start the next batch.

Yes it does, the leaf vegetables better to combine with hard vegetabls. Hard vegetables on their own no problem at all. Fruits alone is also no problem.
