Ya know Shamarian,
I started to post this, this morning, but kids kept getting in my way, they both wanted to be fed before school, darn kids!!
JUST KIDDING!!!!!!

But, I did want to make sure I posted to this!!!

Well, I have to admit something ...............

On occassion mind you, I have a wee~one that likes to get undressed, (he'd be naked 24/7/365 if he were allowed to do what he wanted to do!!!)
But he's been known a few times more than not to take off his diaper in the yard! and run around, and a few we were still finding where he stuffed them in the fall time... (LITTLE BOOGER) but I had a chance to observe those puppies in action with water and what they do after they've sat for a bit!!!

#1. When they sat on the ground (or maybe contact with soil??) they never~never lost their moisture content..
#2. They swelled up like,um, oh, road kill, maybe's a unpleasant way of discribing it (oh, sorry, I couldnt' think of anything else) but, you know what I mean, they were just huge and soggy!!!! Really blotted!
#3. The inner part of the diaper fell apart, (probably ripped apart from so much water being in them...) and the cloth on top of the inner part is so much different to the cloth on the out side... so, the polymer crystal's were just EVERYWHERE!!! In a big pile!!

Now, I too had heard about that very same thing..
***For cemetary planters, Urn's, and Pot's****
Because no one really takes care of them, usually long spells between visits.. and in the cemetaries, it's usually hot and dry!!

And I thought about doing it, (*I never did get around to trying it)
butttttttttttttttttttttttttttt...........
My thoughts would be,

#1. If it was put into the bottom of the pot or planter, and dirt put on top, what would happen to the dirt and flowers on top of that when alllll the water is absorbed and would it push everything up and out of the pot??????????????
(especially if just planted and no time for the roots to establish?????)
#2. How would one get that out of the dirt if you had a wet season, (which has been known to happen, rain every weekend or just soggy/alot of rain..)
Would it be toooooooooooo much water for an average type of plant...? You know like a regular annual??? Would there be too much water you wouldn't be able to just empty like a saucer underneath, once it's in, it's in.............
(I'm also not sure about cutting it up to make pieces of it, it would open up all the crystals to escape!)

I would say, it definately would work for
HANGING BASKETS!!
DEFINATELY!!!
They are always in the wind and drying out!
so, I'd say, wet the diaper first, and put it around the hanging pot, 2 or 3 even..

If you do this experiment, please let us know what you did, and how you did it! I would love to hear of your adventure on it!!!

Jiffymouse, I would never use anything unless it was 100% organic and safe. I belong to a health food buying club[ its like having access to tons of natual products] and there are products available to try, granted I'm sure they don't carry the absorbent super powers of the ones down from the river from you or at the supermarket and in fact I think some of these would just break down totally naturally.And now that I think about it, they are probably made of the same products as the matts they are selling for planting purposes anyway. Your right tho ,I would never try all the heavily perfumed and chemically hasardous products for this purpose, who knows whats in them.I just believe in trying to find the cheaper alternatives.

Oh Shamarian, Shamarian, Shamarian....that was really great....thanks for the gut buster.....I can picture your faces when you busted him.

I thought the stories about silverware, dishes being dug up years later was strange....can you imagine years down the road what the new owners are going to think when they find them. They'll probably be posting somewhere under a mystery section ...."guess what I found in my backyard"!!!!lol

Just a thought....how about stuffing those things in double thickness old jeans. That might keep them from escaping...and would take years for the jean material to breakdown.

Just a thought!
Catlover....thanks for the gut buster!
