Why I Use Disposable Diapers In The Garden! Get more details about using disposable diapers in the garden here: http://www.livingonadime.com/disposable-diapers-garden/ Did you know you can save time and money by using disposable diapers in the garden! They are not dangerous to your plants -- The water holding crystals in diapers are the same stuff that is packaged and sold as garden watering crystals, only a lot less expensive. Using disposable diapers in your garden or in container plants, you can save a LOT of time because you don't have to water nearly as often and the plants have a more even supply of water. You can even use these for plants that are already planted as I demonstrate in this video! You can use used diapers (GASP!), but not dirty ones. If you have diapers that have only urine in them, they are fine to use in the garden if you're willing to mess with them. Some people are horrified at the thought, but consider this: Gardening is an outside activity. Squirrels, rodents, dogs and cats and other various animals pee in your garden all the time, but it just goes back into nature. I'm assuming your baby doesn't have some hideous disease that would make their urine more dangerous for you or your plants than the urine from these animals, so feel free to use them. ________________________________ OUR WEBSITE: http://www.LivingOnADime.com/ DINING ON A DIME COOKBOOK with over 1200 recipes and tips including homemade cleaners: http://www.livingonadime.com/store/dining-on-a-dime-cookbook/ ________________________ OUR FREE NEWSLETTER! http://www.livingonadime.com/newsletter-signups/ OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=mkellam2 OUR FACEBOOK! https://www.facebook.com/livingonadime OUR PINTEREST! https://www.pinterest.com/livingonadime/ _________________________________________________ WATCH SOME OF OUR OTHER VIDEOS!

bought 1 lb of sodium polyacrylate off amazon for $20. it'll last me a whole garden. you are right its better to shop around for the straight chemical.
-
Try not to breath it in. Sodium Polyacrylate can royally mess you up and needs to be treated a nicer when opening the diaper.
-
thanks very interesting
-
Tawra, what a great idea, I also see adult depends and other brands in thrift stores. Could those be uses as well? Thanks Sharon
-
Didn't watch the whole video before posting my question. You answered my question. I will definitely do this with my plants that are already in pots
-
My plants are in their pots. Could I just sprinkle some of these crystals from the diapers now and mix it in and around the soil to help retain the little bit of water we are getting.
-
Great idea who would of thought. I shared with friends who garden and such.
-
Do the diaper crystals rob water out the soil/rob the plant roots of water. This can be problem....
-
What a brilliant idea,thanks mam.
-
Do the "chemicals" in the mix have an safety impact on your products such as veggies
-

Wow I learn something new everyday, I will be using this trick as I live in north east Texas and summers can be brutal , either we have no rain or too much rain but either way I do all my gardening in containers as I have bad knees and am not able to garden in the traditional way any longer.This I think will be absolutely wonderful.Thank you so much, I will start looking at garage sales to see if I can find some diapers!
-
the urine from wet diapers will add nitrogen to your plants...! Thanks for the video.
-
Will they are grow each time the water is all gone and more comes by watering or rain? Or do they only expand once?
-
Super idea love it and I will have to try it!
-
Smart
