This has likely been discussed and I've found some theoretical and anecdotal evidence online, about using diapers in containers for their water retention properties.
Have any of youse done this and have any recommendations or tips?
I am wondering how much your soil volume will fluctuate as they release moisture or if this is a problem, as long as you water frequently.
I have some extra unusable adult sized ones (you can use your imagination here....some of you likely know) and I tossed one in a bucket and started adding water. The thing ended up absorbing a gallon of water.
Would one want to put one in the bottom of a container or mix the fluff throughout the potting mix? I am going to try both unless someone else has done it and has a recommendation.
Yeah, yeah Steve. I know. It all Depends, eh?
Carefully Charlie
