| Some 'packing peanuts' are biodegradable, some aren't. See if they dissolve in water. Lloyd |

The styrofoam packing peanuts or popcorn will never decay, never rot, will be there forever. They would not be a good addition to compost.
The packing peanuts, popcorn, made from starch, they melt when a bit wet, would be okay although there would be nothing left of them of substance. |

| Scanning through this thread I got this uncontrollable urge to ask an off topic question. What would happen if one were to eat biodegradable packing material made from cornstarch? |

| The non-degradable kind are useful when filling up big containers with potting soil. And there is nothing like that sinking feeling when you think that 2 cubic foot box of packing is biodegradable, you toss it on the compost, and then realize that is wan't, and watch it start to blow all over the garden. |

I knew a girl that kept a small box of them near here desk and would eat them while she was dieting. As far as I know, she's still alive. |
