What happens to our waste?
We have placed a whole bunch of waste items in a tub, and buried it in soil.
How long do you think each of the below items will take to break down??
I can't wait to find out how long it takes the waste to break down. I predict that the chip packet will take a year to break down, the glad wrap 5 months and the banana 7 months. I'm very excited to see if I'm right.
I think the mandarin peel with breakdown the quickest - maybe 3 weeks. Next I think it would be the banana peel and apple core. The newspaper will melt away if it gets wet.
i think the the news paper will take a week to break down, the chip packet might take 2 months to break down and the banana peel could take a year to break down, i wonder if my predictions will be correct.

ReplyDeleteI would like to see what would happen to the plants that you plant on the soil and to see if they will survive or they might die
ReplyDeletethat is cool that the rubbish is under the soil if it will grow or die
ReplyDeleteI wonder which one will last the longest

ReplyDeleteI think the milk carton will take two years to break down.
