You know, I've followed this issue farther than just the war shrapnel in the yard. Most US and European latex balloon manufacturers have taken steps to produce biodegradable balloons. But most of us real people get the ones made in Taiwan or China. I have always treated balloon waste as hazardous, deploy kids to gather the scraps. Even if they are biodegradable, they're ugly trash on the landscape until they do! It's okay once everyone's cooled off by supersoakers or strategic nukes (actual hose and nozzle) to make 'em pick up the debris. Hi, Nina!

I hadn't thought about stocking up an arsenal of water weapons! Great idea. I do have a question. If you have a gross of balloons for grenades, do you pick up the broken balloons afterwards, or just leave them where they exploded??? (I want to have some on hand but my hubby is concerned about all of the balloon scraps left laying around. . . ) Ah . . . I hadn’t thought about stocking up an arsenal of water weapons! Great idea.
