For two days I have found small pieces of clear jelly substance
(imagine small roughly diced pieces of agar-agar, although one piece I
found yesterday was as big as a fist) lightly burried around the the
edges of my seedling pots (basil in particular). I actually saw a
neighbour putting them there. I suspect it to be a weed killer of
some sort, but I cannot find anything on the 'net along these lines.
Any advice on how to research this? Any suggestion on what this
substance could be? (I have saved some in the frigde)
Sounds a bit like the water-storing polymers that are used in some potted
plants, but I can't imagine why your neighbor would be adding them to
yours.

There is a contagious lack of civility in neighborhoods these days. People
should know that they shouldn't set foot in your garden without your
blessing.
