Wait .. Diapers? How do those help your plants? Trust me, it’s probably not what you’re thinking.

Now you know that using diapers can really make sense in growing your plants. And in a similar train of “out of the box” thinking, did you know there’s a way to find a fun, German-engineered car, that actually makes sense too?
Check out my friends at Volkswagon, who were a huge support for this video.
Every new Volkswagen comes with no-charge scheduled maintenance for the first two years or 24,000 miles. #NowYouKnow

In this video you’ll see how to use new, or “gently used”, diapers to;
– Make a “super gel” for better gardening
– Cut your watering schedule in half
– Help fresh cut flowers last longer and look awesome
– Start growing seeds the lazy way
– Protect your plants from overwatering and under watering

I love the idea that simple resources can be utilized to help meet our basic survival needs, or help optimize systems with just a shift in thinking, and repurposing our trash. Water and time are both very important resources, and when both can be conserved with very little effort, it’s a major win.
The next time you have a damaged or defected diaper that you’re just going to throw away, why not rip it apart and try some of these experiments for yourself? Just make sure it hasn’t been used for it’s original intended purpose first!
good info. saved it for the wife. Thanks Cathleen.
Ya . . . you’re welcome Paul. Just a little tip for the coming Spring time planting season and all the gardeners out there.
. . .
Yes looking forward to spring. Hate winter anymore.
OMG, when I read the title of the article I thought to myself, “they aren’t talking about using dirty diapers for fertilizer.” LOL
😆
Hey Paul, Merry belated Christmas!
You too my brother. 🙂 hope it was a pleasant one for you.
Well brother Paul, I’m calling it a night. See you in “the Trenches” tomorrow.
