Review of Fit-Hit Bowl Veggie at Taco Time NW by tina360
This was a nice solid meal but it feels like it was kind of boring and missing something. I got the medium salsa but it was a bit too spicy (either that or it was the pico de Gallo). Next time I will add guacamole and I think that will help. It's cool that it comes in a compostable bowl and it has a clear lid so I think I'm going to save it and use it to start seeds over winter, assuming I was able to wash it well enough and it doesn't mold. =)

brtjohns Have you ever added a world centric compostable product to your compost beforeReply
tina360 I have not, have you? Any issues with that? I was planning to plant and then just bury it with the seedlings like those peat pots. Reply
brtjohns Things that say compostable have to meet only a minimum % of compostable elements in the overall composition. Beyond that minimum companies can include virgin plastic or anything. Compostable product marketing is quite deceiving. If it says "fully" or "100%" compostable then you can better trust it's actually compostable. Reply

"Tossing a PLA cup into your home compost pile won’t break it down, says Nora Goldstein, executive editor of BioCycle magazine—a publication covering the organic waste recycling and composting industry. “I put [compostable plastic] cups from NatureWorks in [my home compost] from the early fall of last year, and they’re still there,” she says. The only way to make the cups actually break down, she says, requires a specific set of microorganisms used in industrial composting that need temperatures well above what most backyard heaps reach to thrive.
