We do quite a bit of composting here at the homestead. Probably somewhere in the range of 100-200lbs of vegetables, lawn waste, and other stuff each year. I thought it was interesting when Sun Chips came out with fully compostable bags a couple of years ago. (Strangely, they stopped selling them because people thought the bags were too noisy?!) There were even pictures on the back showing different stages of a bag decomposing over 12 weeks. After eating a bag of chips, I put a bag in a compost pile (this was 2 years ago). This wasn't at home, it was at a cottage in the Adirondacks. I was back there again last week and decided to check on the bag. Here it is. It doesn't look like there has been any decomposition at all in the last 2 years! It was partially buried under a bunch of other stuff, so it had plenty of contact with the soil/compost. False advertising!!
