    The glue is probably a bigger problem than the bag @Singing Gardener. It's difficult for them to replace that, even if they can mange the bag itself. 
    They could always use a staple gun.... :D
    I've just been emptying my compost  and turning it @B3. The potato starch bags that Peter Nyssen bulbs come in are still there-  looking pretty much the same as they did when they went in. I haven't bought any bulbs since last autumn. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Last time I turned my compost bin, the only still-recognisable thing was a starch-based plastic bag that a magazine had come in, that was supposed to be compostable. It's a good start, but the next step is to include information on how long (roughly) it takes these things to break down in a typical domestic compost bin.

    Not necessarily cheaper at point of sale @amancalledgeorge, I used to buy non-teabagged, superior quality, more reliable plants in 9cm pots from one online nursery. Another, bigger concern I bought from were more expensive and grown from repotted teabag plugs. I discovered the bags when the plants died after a season, they were very well disguised. Hateful things!
