After reading about the water retention crystals found in diapers, I happened across a bag of adult Depends for sale at our local VOA store (like a Goodwill). About 25 LARGE diapers for $1.99! When I got them home, I soaked one in water and boy, do they hold a lot. I tore one apart to check it out and the center part was filled with the crystals!

I potted up my hollyhock seedlings in peat pots but they dry out so easily. So I packed them in a tray with the cotton and crystals from the Depends. I'll upload a picture and let you all know if this works out.
