It’s been a long time since I’ve thrown all those questionable items in the compost tumbler…so how are they doing?
In short, the only stuff that composted properly were the paper/cardboard products that I had ripped up into pieces. Unknown to you, after I made the first video I took the ice cream carton out and ripped it up…same with the socks. Whaddya know, they’re gone! As for the untouched soymilk carton, it’s still lurking around.
The latex condoms and Sun Chips bag are definitely still here. You need high temperatures above 130 degrees for an extended period of time in order to make a dent in their decomposition…not to mention a LOT of material in your compost pile (at least 3’x3’x3′).
So there you have it: Break up materials before you add them to your compost pile, and avoid putting in bioplastics unless you have a massive pile and a bit of patience.
