Here we are at the one-week mark, and the plastic soda rings are merrily photodegrading. I heard through the grapevine on Friday that “biodegrading” isn’t technically the correct term for what’s going on here. Makes sense to me, so I note it here. Today’s photo shows the outdoor rings looking a little scrunched up, and the indoor ones smug and smooth.

I am a little taken aback at how much traffic this experiment has received. And it’s making me want to keep on. I’ve got a tea trial in mind, and also some donut-related investigations. But please leave suggestions in the comments here if there’s anything along these lines that’s been bugging you that I could try out.
Meanwhile, check out my insane tomato plants. As I mentioned earlier, my mother in-law has magical powers, and provided me with these Totally Cracked-Out planters. This photo is of two tomato plants. Only two. I’ve got them tied to the stakes at strategic load-bearing points using strips of Spouse’s (clean) discarded underpants.





Holy moly! You are a tomato queen! I wish I were you!
I guess this experiment also proves why homeless people are often wrinkly. They photodegrade also.
