Default Plastic bag composting

With my very small yard and garden I don't have a lot of stuff to compost
and I don't want to dedicate much space to the task either. Can plastic
bags be used for composting?


Composting requires air for good results. Even an above-ground,
open air compost pile needs occasional stirring to bring fresh air
into the center of the pile.

A lack of air results in anaerobic fermentation. The final
product is slimy, foul smelling, and not suitable for many garden
uses.
