how long does it take to degrade? I live in north eastern WY

I have yet to see one degrade. It would take at least a year, probably more. I am in the Midwest, it is the end of summer and there are bb's in my yard from last winter. I got one and it does not appear to have degraded at all. I tried soaking one in water for a couple of weeks when we first got them to see what would happen and it did not degrade at all. Regardless of whether or not they are better for the environment, they are better than the plastic ones because they are heavier, do not break as easily, and they do not have the seam.

I'm giving a though full guess. Unopened and being dehydrated I would guess a very long time. Years ?????

I would say about a week. And with continued use a good month should be 100% difference. I am.very happy with this product.

Michael,From my experience each application kills an estimated 95 % of what was visible just prior to the application. The problem are the seeds in the ground that germinate later. This is why the manufacture recommends 3 applications with about 3 weeks between each. The dead bent grass can take more than a month to decay to the point the white color is no longer apparent. Overall, I would estimate it takes 12-14 weeks to obtain a good looking lawn when the starting point is extensive bent-grass. Bob

Exact time depends on your location. I'm in W TX, gets warm here a lot sooner in the year than MN. I put it down 4th week of May, have enough for a 2nd lighter treatment 4th week of June. I see the 1st June bugs near the end of May here, so that timing has worked for me. See my review as to why timing is important.

6 months to a year but that does not mean it is necessary to discard. Just less potent. Keep dry and in the dark.

I'm not really certain. I would think it will last me 5-7 years with how little I use and how infrequently I need to clean it.

Should be clear. After a period of time I think it goes bad. Mine did that very quickly and I tossed it.

Supposedly 8 years, one would be lucky to get 8 months out of it from my experience. Virtually ALL of these 'tarp' based covers are similar in how fast they degrade, more so if you live in the west.

I installed 200 feet of this mesh on a slope in my back yard over 6 months ago, it is still working well to control the erosion and has not degraded at all yet.sorry I can not tell you how long it will take to degrade but it works well.

I'm wondering if it has to do with the type of water that is used. If it is distilled, tap water, from a water softener, etc. I seemed to notice a difference in the length of time when I moved.

Not very long unless you use Bloxygen which Amazon sells. Maybe a month without it.

Not sure yet, although the manual says it starts to degrade after a few months, maybe to 75% or so, and depends on temp and other conditions

After you digest them how long does it take for them to breakdown or dislove?

I shave every day, using enough for 2/3 passes, and I bought my jar halfway through March. it is now October and I think it has a few weeks left. So it will last at least 6/7 months if you are like me.

I believe the cycle lasts 4 weeks, with a change of grit happening each week. It's gradual but effective.
