But the Spud Raincoat isn’t just biodegradable. It also contains a small clay ball that houses seeds for Mediterranean herbs, flowers, bushes and trees

Just stick the biodegradable, compostable raincoat in the ground when you’re done with it, and life will sprout anew from it

Can’t help but wonder how well, or how long, a biodegradable raincoat would last in Portland (Oregon). Or Seattle. Or New Orleans, which it has come to my attention actually get twice the precipitation than the aforementioned.
