 I set up my compost box. But I discovered something interesting.  A lot of
the leaves and grass  I put in Contractor garbage bags last summer and fall
were  composting already.  In the bags.  They got a lot of water in them
from the rain. And the centers were barely warm, but the bottom water had
froze.   There was a bit of stink.

Makes me think I could compost in garbage bags easily. Right from my lawn
mower. And save money on compost bins.

One reason to have a cage is to allow air in, this helps the aerobic
microbes do their work.  Using a bag or other closed container will
encourage anaerobic bugs which are the ones that smell particularly bad.
