A few years ago I buried a bunch film in my backyard in Iowa and left
the ends poking out of the ground, labeled them with stakes. I came
home one day and heard some kids in the backyard. They were having a
great time pulling the film up. I had better luck putting small
amounts of film in mason jars with composted veggies and storing them
in the basement.
