It’s been about 6 weeks since I started the condoms-in-the-worm-bin experiment.
There’s not really much to report other than that the condoms are still in the bin. They’re covered in springtails and what looks like mites. I’ve caught worms sitting in them, but it’s a rarity and it’s definitely leading towards my initial guess.
It looks like the condoms will be there until the microbes eat them up. Worms don’t appear to be all that attracted to natural latex…I don’t see any real munching marks on them.
Although it doesn’t seem like much, I’m still wagering that they’ll be degraded within a 6 month time frame. What do you think?
All in all, who cares? The fact that they didn’t drive my worms out of the bin is a small victory, I think. At the end of all this, I’ll have a Youtube video showing the project from start to finish…what a fun project!
