Diapers and Gardening. Huh?

Spring has arrived and with that comes our annual gardening plan: deciding how many heirloom tomatoes to plant, finding the most optimal area of sunshine for the strawberries, building a trellis for the sugar snaps, finding plenty of space for precious basil and oregano, and so on.

So what does gardening have to do with diapers? Read on...

I recently read an inspiring article about a Mountain View, CA based company that provides a solution to reducing diapers in landfills by turning them into top soil for gardening.

Check out their website because it's not just diapers but also wipes and other baby-related goodies. And the best part - they deliver and pick up!

Still not convinced you should opt for environmentally friendly diapers? Here's some startling statistics: "In the Bay Area, more than 350 million diapers end up in a landfill each year, according to EarthBaby's calculations. A child who wears diapers until age 3 creates more than 1.15 tons of dirty diapers in his or her lifetime."

Do you know how much top soil that could produce? Happy gardening...
