How do diapers help plants grow?!


Our teacher recently gave us the challenge of finding out how do diapers help plants grow. We all thought our teacher was crazy when he told us that diapers can help your plants grow! But he was right! We discovered how this works!

 You will need:


  1. An ordinary disposable diaper
  2. Water
  3. Soil
  4. Mixing bowl
  Step to step:


  1. Fill your diaper with roughly 4 cups of water. You will notice that after a few seconds all the fluid has been absorbed.
  2. Rip the diaper open and put the contents into your bowl.
  3. Add some more water and mix the two together.
  4. Freeze the contents over night.
  5. Now you need to mix the hydro gel with your soil until they are completely mixed.
  6. Now you have a super absorbent soil that is light and fluffy and perfect for your plants!
Nicole found a video on youtube showing you step by step through the procedure!
