Gotta get those microplastics right in there by the roots

It's what plants crave

solid blocks of plastic create microplastics when sitting in dirt?

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 3 points 6 months ago

Acidic soil + UV, for sure.

I don't get it. Are you a microplastics denier or something?

Are you watering your plants? Microplastics got you anyway

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Maybe slow it down a bit by not directly putting more plastic in there.
