Composting - Bags?

[thomasb]

A year or 2 back at a show I saw bags for collecting kitchen waste for composting.  The bags themselves degraded and therefore all you had to do was fill them, close the top and throw them on the compost heap.

Does anyone know where one could get these type of bags?
Thanks,
Thomas

I think "Ecover", the people who do enviro friendly washing liquid, soaps etc, do something like you mention. Perhaps a google search will find something for you. But does it work as quickly as throwing stuff straight onto the compost heap without being in a bag albeit biodegradable?

I bought some from Sainsbury's ages ago on special.  I guess a paper bag would be as good for dry stuff, but they were quite useful for soggy bits.  I used them in a composting trench last year - dug the ground over this year and can't find them so they must have composted!

Our council does bio-degradeable bags for green waste, we don't use ours much because it all goes on the compost heap, but maybe there's a plan there.
