    Dig day
    today we dug the 8 items and covered them up with dirt. So after we covered them up we created a timeline to see how much they will decompose and guessing what will happen to them over the past 9 weeks.

    ground tempature
    so after we dug and covered everything up im coming up with a solution that the apple will decompose the most out of the 8 items because the ground is warm so the worms will eat the apple and ants could make holes through the apple.
