Those sun baked ones are over a year old now, and they have been used to move a lot of lava rock and spent a lot of time in the sun. The sun here is brutal on a lot of different materials including plastic unfortunatly.
Just need to get some weather balloons and get rid of it like north Korea 🤣 I'd suggest building a box with a tall vent running vertical out the back of the box, a solar fan and a tiny panel would help. Maybe a mesh screen & lid to stop bugs and water going down the vent. Check the wipes are made of plant material and has not PFAS or plastics in it or it will be all contaminated and you'll have to remove it all from site. Adding LABs (Lactic acid bacteria) will really help break things down, try to keep it damp to let the life thrive and go to work.
From the research I did, the wipes are based on a wood pulp process, and the bags are supposedly completely plant based. Then again, the companies could also be lying =) We will likely get into a vented system at some point, this is just an easy way to get it collected so that we can start the composting process =)
We did look around, and there wasn't anything that I could find. These materials aren't that expensive and a bag lasts forever, so it isn't too bad actually.
Having a sailboat taught me all I wanted to know about this stuff. 😂
The pineapples are looing great!
Yeah they are, the last couple of months have been really good for them and we have seen a lot of growth.
Turned out great ⭐️
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video!
Are you planning on closing up those openings on the side?
Nope, the plan is to leave them open. We will have to see what happens in the winter though =)
How long do the buckets last using them for something like this? I see that a couple of them are looking very sun faded.

Have you tried looking for someplace around there that has extra sawdust, like a sawmill or something?

You should take this video down, don't give the state anything to get you on in videos
