Using Nappies in plant pots\hanging baskets?

[perhapstomorrow]

Whilst changing my DS nappy I had a thought about using a disposable nappy in a pot to help retain moisture? Has anyone done this? Do you need to cut the nappy up and could you use it for edible plants?

Worth experimenting with. Stands to reason that all the moisture retentive material in nappies would serve for plants. Need to disguise the white material imo, it could work!

Hmmm....good idea, but wont the nappy soak up all the moisture and leave the compost dry? Worth a try though.

I have heard about this before and have put cut up pieces of nappy in my hanging baskets this year.

Watch this space!

Well I've given it a go. I soaked the nappy in water then cut it open to remove the gel. Quite a lot came out. I've mixed it with compost and used it in a hanging basket. Hopefully, it will work!
