How do we go about minimising plastic-use on the allotment? So much time has been spent sieving out bits of shattered pot, old compost bags and crumbling woven plastic like those potato sacks.
Obviously growing stuff from seed instead of in pots, buying string not coated twine etc are the obvious ones but is there natural fibre netting etc? Could you grow spuds as above in hessian sacks and just chop them up when they eventually rot?
We’re aiming to reuse all the plastic pots we’ve found on site but hopefully no more.
