But will they compost? Last time I tried with teabags they didn't and became a nuisance in the compost.
They go in my council food waste caddy, l've never tried putting them in my compost bin. Unlike B3, foxes don't seem to go for our caddies, maybe they prefer Earl Grey round here.
A while ago I bought some Semperviviums on line, when they arrived I was really pleased with them.
Last month I checked them over in the pot I had planted them in,and one of the Mother plants was laying slightly over on one side. Well it was in one of those teabags and I thought I had better remove it as i don't think they do the roots any favors!
When I removed it there were Two Vine Weval grubs inside.
@Bijdezee , I've not seen those but will keep an eye out now thanks for the warning.
Eight new Heucheras and Heucherellas in 2 litre pots, all tea bagged.
I have removed some bits where I can but don't want to damage what root there is for now because they are coming in to flower. The plants are nice, and the leaves in good condition but not long been potted on, or the lack of root may be the bags. I want to see what the flowers are like before disturbing them.
At least Heucheras root easily so disturbance later won't matter.
I never think to look in two litre pots. I suppose if there's a root or two poking out of the bottom, you can assume that some have escaped the confines. I think we need to make a point of asking whether a plant has been teabagged and walking away. Just not buying them without saying anything isn't enough. I suspect though that it's becoming increasingly difficult for gcs to purchase traditionally grown plants. That says it all, doesn't it! Traditional, disappearing, old technology, Luddites ......
