        The worms are eating the bag to get through it, not because it's tasty. As soon as they are fee they leg it out of there...

        No, they aren't eating it. They mashed the worms up and spread them on the plastic and it still ended up with holes

        More preferably, recycle to be used on something permanent. Like roads and bridges. Has anybody tried to make steel girders out of plastic?
