Well, I had a meltdown with one my blue plastic tarps by leaving it
in the sun and outdoors too long. Little blue strands are now in
the gravel and some plant areas. How to get rid of them? Maybe
there's something non-toxic that will dissolve them? Other ideas?
Do you have opposing thumbs?
Unfortunately, my question was posted near the start of a long trip. Now I
have an opportunity to respond. Do you something a little more positive to say?

Pardon me, I forgot to mention the particles are about 1 mm in diameter. My
guess is there's a simple chemical that will do the job, that is, dissolve
them.

A chemical that dissolves plastic is bound to be toxic.
Bad idea.

Use those opposing thumbs.

A blower may help separate the plastic from the gravel but sooner
or later to you need to pick it up and dispose of it.
Perhaps I can train an opossum? Toxic to what?
