I agree with the bloody pineapple leaves- had some in the bin for
about four months, not going anywhere!!! and I noticed the savoy

You're not even trying! If you want longevity, try avocado stones,
date stones and wine corks. And the outer network of spines from
defunct cacti ;-)

I keep wine corks as "crocks" for my pots. I will try and remember that
avocado stones work too! Hmm. Will lychee stones also work, do you
think?
I have never used wine corks and we drink wine, so thanks for that. I
shall give it a go. I used to use pieces of polystyrene but they flake
off when you are breaking them up, so I gave up on that one.
