For those that like to garden, and recycle, I read about this on another
group:

(Copied and pasted)

I read about this in Burke's Back Yard gardening magazine, but have no
littlies and their disposable nappies or pullups to test it out. They
suggested to use the gel crystals - with wee - as an addition to potting
mix. Apparently it is the same stuff as those rain saver crystals, and
the nitrogen from the wee was said to benefit the plants.



wow. thx for the tip - I need some nitrogen on my azalea ... will give this
a go and report back
( I take it you rip open the protective liner and scrape the crystals out -
hmm, interesting )
