Disposable nappies (diapers), yep those things that millions and millions of are disposed of in rubbish bins all over the world every day, can be used in your garden. Remove the plastic outer and other unwanted 'bits', (or just use the "cleanish" ones), and put it in a bucket of water. It expands quite an enormous amount and then can used as an additive to potting mix or when planting something in the garden. It holds the moisture and saves heaps of landfill. I have tried this with the 'grandbabies' nappies and it does work.
