Also the shirts, definitely makes a lot of sense since those fabrics all come from natural fibers that would (should) breakdown. I had some burlap blankets that I (tried to) used for overwintering my tomatoes and peppers last year that ended up in a pile in the corner of the yard from spring til fall. I picked it up and it was falling apart so I just mixed it into my bedding material bucket and it seems to get composted medium quick by the worms – granted it quite weathered. Sam with some twine rope. For the shirts, I’d maybe be concerned about the dyes used, but at the end of the day its a great experiment in composting and sustainability. I often think about all the stuff in the dump that if better separated could be composted instead of getting polluted with all the other stuff and turning into the toxic leachate that poisons water supplies. I recently learned that San Francisco and Oregon require you to separate food waste into separate bins for composting, I guess kinda like yard waste bins but even further. I’d be curious to see their composting operations and what they do with the end product, I need to look this up.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing the hair-shirt bedding ends up in 6months!
