Mini Landfills Experiment Update 3

 Hello again, Devin Rogel here with the third installment of the Mini Landfills Experiment, where we have some very exciting news!

Here we have the trash one, mostly dry with no signs of biodegrading.

Here we have the food scraps, being mixed up. The food scrap bin was also dry, so we added water. We added 4 oz to each.

Here comes the good news: (drumroll please...) our first signs of mold in the food scraps! mold is the first step in decomposition, where mold and bacteria arrive and start to eat away at the material.

Here's a close-up of the mold. You can't see it, but the stick is pointing to a tiny scrap with blue mold on it! Soon the mold will make its rounds through the entire bin.

Here is the control; not much changed, and so we mixed and watered it.

This has been a very eventful update of the Mini Landfills Experiment. Tune in next Friday for another update! See you then!

Mini Landfills Experiment Update 2

Hello, I am Devin Rogel, and today we will discuss the second update on the Mini Landfills Experiment.

We watered and mixed all three of them, putting four ounces into every bin.

This is the control. No signs of decomposing yet. It was fairly dry.

Here's me mixing the food scraps. It was also dry, and still didn't have any signs of decomposing.

And here is me mixing the trash bin. It had no signs of decomposing.

This is the results of our Mini Landfills Experiment Update 2. No signs of decomposing in any of them, but we think there may be next time. See you next Friday with another update!
