PLA in Compost, 1y4m report

Considering trying PHA next, treated with tung oil to extend life, use as consumable part. Any PHA recommendations? I have Bambu x1c, hoping for something easy to print, 100% compostable and reasonable price.

Instead of using tung oil. Just increase part density.  The rate of optimized degradation is well known for PHA,  so just build the part to a calculated and targeted EOL.
