Science experiment! Composting bottles: Balloons are inflated by gases released from bacteria decomposing fruit scraps!

Bottle 1 (yellow balloon): banana peels and banana pieces
Bottle 2 (orange balloon): orange peel and pulp
  
Results: The orange peel and pulp is decomposing at a much faster rate than the banana releasing ethylene gas! Due to the higher moisture content than the banana; which bacteria is attracted to and thrives in best.
