DIAPERS--Same as Hydro crystals ?

Five years ago, a friend left her babie's dirty diaper in my bathroom. Rather than takng it to the garbage, I flung it out my back door.( and forgot about it ).
A few WEEKS later, while working in the rain, I stepped on what I thought was a plastic bag.

ALL THIS CLEAR JELLY-LIKE STUFF CAME OOZING OUT !
All at once ,the idea popped into my head that this is the same stuff used for retaining water in potting soil !

I spent the next 2 years experimenting with using this diaper material in my garden.
I got the USED diapers for free. (neighbor with a baby ).

Only pee-pee ones -- no P-U.....

PEE-PEE = nitrogen....(and also sterile) another good reason to use USED ones. I mixed it into the soil AND also left the diaper intact for the bottoms of planters. It really works !
