From container to soil in 90 days; Does it work?

 



Today I went to KFC and ordered the Chicken Fried Steak special.


It was the first time in a while since the last time I ordered this item.

Bombas Homepage


In the past it came in the standard star foam container, but it seems that Yum Brands are getting more earth friendly as this container says it is made out of plant materials and will turn to soil within 90 days.






So I don’t do much gardening, so I don’t know much about compost and if you have to tear  the container to bits in order for it to change to soil or if you can just throw it outside and let nature take over.


So that is what I’m doing, I’m sitting it outside and plan to monitor it for 90 days and see what happens. So here is a photo of day 1, Aug. 12. I expect the container to be licked clean by the neighborhood strays and wildlife by tomorrow.

But here we go, on the 90 day container to soil challenge. 

Stay tuned for updates and photos.

Waitress strikes out resulting in unplanned meal discounts


The lack of math skills in the world is paying dividends for some as it seems nearly most retail workers have no clue what they are doing, even with the aid of technology, they still can’t get if right.
