In response to "sorry (TFox translation inside)" by znufrii

landfills don't have air and bacteria? are they in space?

i don't believe this is true of most landfills.

znu is... right. Deep down in landfills there's no air, and organic material decomposes anaerobically - Reagen Aug 7, 19:12
maybe I'm mistaken, but there's a reason you're supposed to turn over a compost heap regularly. - znufrii Aug 7, 18:15 6
- so food covered in dirt doesn't decompose? -- nm - TFox Aug 7, 18:16 5
  - or at least, much more slowly than it would if it were exposed to the open air, that's my understanding. -- nm - znufrii Aug 7, 18:19 4
    - more slowly i'll grant, but its a landfill. it has time. -- nm - TFox Aug 7, 18:20 3
      - sure, as long as you can find space for another landfill when that one is full.. - znufrii Aug 7, 18:22 2
        
        when its full, its not going to be full because of grilled cheese sandwich scraps. -- nm - TFox Aug 7, 18:24 1
        
        imho, every little bit helps. -- nm - znufrii Aug 7, 18:25
