EcoBundle 1 and 2 UnWrapped

OK, It has been a month and a half.  That is 5 weeks longer than Carol's!  LOL  Hers turned out lightly stained.  I resisted and resisted and resisted.  But about 10 pm last night I decided I just HAD to go outside in the dark and retrieve my EcoBundles.

I was richly rewarded.

If you remember, there were two bundles.  I wrapped them with cotton twill tape and lovingly placed them outside in the side garden after McGee continued to dig  them up  in the back yard.

 In one I put organic stuff like a handful of soil, some acorns and berries, some leaves and bark all wrapped around a piece of rusty re-bar.

 This is the original stuff I put into Bundle 1.  Just that hodgepodge of organic stuff and some rust.  See that bolt?  Cool!


I wonder what stains will stay in when it gets washed.  I thought it might smell bad so I was sort of prepared for this, tonight is garbage night.  But  it was just musty. 







The second one contained some beets, some orange slices, some avocado and onion skins, wrapped around a rusty re-bar piece.

Here is what it looks like before and after. 

All those vegetables sort of decayed and molded so I think some of the patterning is attributed to mold.


Keep in mind, the after photos are both wet.  So they will be a bit lighter upon washing and drying.

I put both in the washer and they are now rolling around together in the dryer........getting all hot and bothered.

Ohhhhh.........what good things can you see made from these babies?

    Can't wait to see what goodness comes from the experiment.
