A few years ago (read about 12) I got an easy multiple choice test in biology. The question read, which of the following is not biodegradable: Cotton, Glass, Egg shells. Honestly, I would have liked to say that I chose option B. But then I got thinking of how glass is made from silica, and that should someday become bio-fuel... on the other hand I never saw a decomposed egg-shell. So I chose C.
Fast forward all those few years... Today I put in some garlic bulbs into a pot, hoping that something will someday sprout (hopefully if we're there to take care of it) and as I hunched over to mix fertilisers into the soil, I noticed white specks. Turned out to be the home-made fertilisers I had used years ago... among them egg-shells.
Now I'm beginning to think that perhaps I wasn't all that wrong in that biology test...
