Beginner Gardening Tips Blog

Despite working on the web, I’m still a paper person. I keep lists and notes in more than one notebook, I’m forever jotting things on Post-its and I still keep track of my life in my daytimer. Not particularly eco-friendly, I know, but at least my pen now is! A few weeks ago I was sent a Paper Mate Biodegradable – a nifty new pen made of parts that will decompose in soil or compost.

So maybe next spring after all my note taking, my pen will be inkless (though you can buy refills!) and I’ll be able to bury it and see how long it takes to biodegrade – right alongside my Cargo PlantLove lipstick case. It will be like a little bioplastic graveyard in my garden!
