I've got them outside 'in the elements' in different conditions. Some are fully exposed, some emersed in water, some semi-embedded in soil. All do get fully exposed to natural sunlight and precipitation.

I checked them last week both visually and weighed them. There was no noticable discrepancies from a stock bb. I will continue to monitor them for a year since some say that it takes at least six months to notice anything.

I have heard that the only truly biodegradable bbs are produced by a company called Bioval. I have been unable to procure a sample. If anybody has or knows a local contact, PM me.
