If the bag is plastic, then the answer is "No". It won't hurt the final compost, but it won't break down and could slow down the process.

If the bag is burlap, canvas, or any material that is organic, then the answer is "Yes".

The three things I avoid putting in my compost bin are as follows:

1. Nothing that comes from an animal. This includes meat, feces, and dairy. The only exception to this rule is egg shells.

2. Nothing that takes more than a year to decompose. This includes plastic, rubber, glass, metal, and rock. However, these things, in general, don't hurt the compost if removed later.

3. No chemicals. This includes paint, pesticides, and all other man made chemicals.

When do you use ericaceous compost?

Autumnal, spring, and summer fertilization schedules is the time to use ericaceous compost. The compost in question references the needs of plants that prefer soils more in the acidic soil pH ranges and that respond disastrously to lime treatments. It responds therefore to the requirements of such Ericaceae plant family members as azaleas, heathers, heaths, magnolias, and rhododendrons.
