Is the wrapper compostable?

it seems like the wrapper should be because it is a thin paper wrapper over it.

It appears to be composting just fine. My bin is full from veggie scraps all winter and froze a little but appears to be heating up again. I plan to order another one so one can be filling as the other gets done. I expect the process will go quicker in the summer. I like these bins. Sturdy and simple. Mine also smells a little, which I thought was natural, but apparently my ratio between "green & brown" is off.

It's a great little composting bin for the first time composter. It can take a while depending on how you care for it. It definitely allows for breakdown if you turn it regularly and water it regularly. I put every stray worm I can find in there too to help out the process. I didn't have compost material after using it for 4 months but have had this for about a year now and have compost material for our garden this Spring.

Hi there ... sorry, no ... these are not flushable. They are compostable and bio-degradable.

Yes, you put them in a composter. If you don't have one it's easy to start one. I started one and it's very easy to maintain.

No -- the stuff you put in needs water and air (and "green" stuff) to turn into compost, so rainwater is a welcome addition.

In some states organic compost material gets mixed up with chemical-based fertilizers. It is a shame. Check with the state Dept. of Conservation.

Yes, and it works too, if you know how to compost. I am bad at letting mine dry out. But if you keep it moist, throw food scraps, recycled paper towels, cardboard, anything plant based, chicken egg shells. Happy composting.

No, not much in the way of how-to instructions. I'd recommend buying a bag of the compost starter that is suggested when you purchase the composter. That does give more instructions and makes composting easier and faster. It at least tells you what to put in the tumbler and what not to. You could probably find some additional composting instructions online if you did a search for them.

I have a compost heap out in my back yard. I take stuff out to it all year long. Some people have 2. One cooking and one building. You can do it however you like, obviously.

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.

I move scraps periodically to the worm composter, but, if you maintained proper conditions, I guess you could compost small amounts in the canister.

Nowhere on the package does it indicate that these bags are biodegradable. If they were, they would certainly advertise it as such. Compostable bags are considerably more expensive because they are not made from plastic. If you want compostable bags, search with that specific term.

I am not sure what you mean by biodegradable? They break down when I put them in my compost pile, so I would consider them so......

no, it's not biodegradable. :( that is my only guilt---i try to offset my use of plastics in other ways. Since i have used biodegradable bags before, they are great but it does add up with costs.

yes, there was a recipe on the cardboard wrapper. I tried it and it worked out well.

Yes, you can open the doors below and remove the compost. You of course, can stir, but I don't. I do, periodically add some soil or peat moss or manure so that I get a good mix.
