any idea if biobags for lawn/leaf work well? do they biodegrade in the compost? something like these leaf and lawn biobags are what i’m considering

I found a few webpages with reviews:

http://www.sustainlane.com/reviews/biobag-dog-waste-bags/ZT9RM8VJ9CIVYDOUA2LVQFK2PLRU

It seems to me that they do work well for lawn and leaf work and for composting. They are made from corn biomass, so that is why they are biodegradable. Other uses for “corn plastic” are disposable utensils you can find here:
