Biodegrade-able plastics is as you said organic with filler added, but the difference is it won't rot like raw organic compounds when exposed to moisture . A biodegrade-able plastic has more characteristic to inorganic plastic then raw organic. That was what I was trying to get at and why I suggested a control method

Kevin its cool to know that your testing the rice theory, this is coming from me as a hobbyists but let us know the long term effect is. I've been following the thread on rc since the first day really cool thread to read through
