Hello All,

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)

Thank you all in advance for your time.
Lindie

Have you tried it on toast yet?

It could be seed stock of "arborus jellus" (jelly tree).

FACE 'scuse me, I gotta go shake the grit bush for dinner
