In theory. I will now repeat rather a good form of an old quote I
heard last week:

The difference between theory and practice is less in theory
than it is in practice.

Yes, but you are risking your hands in the future. I recommend putting
them in a large polythene bag, making sure that they are damp, and
forgetting about them. If they rot down, well and good. If not, let
them dry out later in the year and burn the beggars. Of chuck them in
the green bin, if you have such a thing.
