| 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 ! I spent the next 2 years experimenting with using this diaper material in my garden. 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 ! |

| I understand it is the same stuff. But, to tell the truth, I'd rather pay $7.95 & get it from the container... |

| I have been thinking on this waaaay too long but here goes...Do you always fling garbage out your back door? |

| You're right. You shouldn't think so much. I have a home business and I couldn't leave my office at the time. With clients coming in , I would rather have my backyard smelling like baby poop (ha!) |
