It gets everywhere and stays for ever. I'm seriously considering starting a campaign for hemp. Hemp plastic biodegrades in around 60 days. Anyway, I always remember my nan putting her used tea on plants. Why didn't I think of that for our poor deprived Rhodies? Hmm...note to self :)DRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352970077497112668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-6585503946962788272018-03-24T02:04:59.948-07:002018-03-24T02:04:59.948-07:00Most of the plastic is in the sealing, Maria.

It might be. It doesn't tear as easily as before. <br /><br />We don't use a lot of tea bags. Greg prefers coffee and if I must have something hot, I prefer apple cider. <br /><br />I want a picture of the rhododendrons.
