Folks - Check out this blog post on the use of diapers (yup, diapers) as water retention additives to containers. I have often looked at purchasing these polymer additives in the store. It can range from $13 - $49/pound! You know diapers are maybe $1 each.
The question though is what do you do with the diapers afterwards - I guess it's just garbage. Maybe too many of them in the landfill already...
Anyway, thought it was Cool! It appeals to the frugal gardener in me!

Today I noticed garlic and other spring perennials going crazy in my garden. Darn Climate Change! It does feel like Spring in Chicago. I'm reviewing seed catalogs and starting a landscaping class on Saturday! So excited to get a long range plan going.
Sign along!
