Check with your particular certifier before using. Last I heard NOFA-NY was not permitting any of the biodegradables (due I think to lack of information about what might be in the residue); though don't know yet if this has changed since last year.

<x-tad-smaller> Ah!  That sounds promising, the stuff we used was largely intact 4-5 months later (which seemed to confirm our certifier's suspicions about it).  Thanks Alison!</x-tad-smaller>

<x-tad-smaller>Don’t know about OMRI listing.  The certified organic program at the University of Kentucky used it in 2006, so some certifiers must allow it.  Since we are not certified, I haven’t looked into it.  You would not be able to pick this up at the end of the season – it is mostly gone in 90 days or less.</x-tad-smaller>
