VINCE,
dont have a wife anymore. she took off with a non gun nut, think he is a long haul trucker; same thing, but remember vermiculite. yea, rem that stuff. never helped the plants, got a brown thumb, lol. but yea, will try it out, and if i am lucky will have peonies pushing thru the bags as a camo thingee. good idea.

dwarren, thanks, but looking for el cheapo. can get all the sand i want, but is getting too heavy to be lugging around.

thanks again all, as usual

some good ideas here, but has anyone tried the oil absorbent stuff ??

vermiculite. vince, you gave me an idea, how about potting soil ?? lite and dense enuff, and comes in plastic bags.

shandy, wheat. am surrounded by wheat fields. need to coax a few bucket fulls out of a farmer when they harvest, but will be in august. dont wanna wait.

surprisingly, no one mentioned cat litter.

BTW, anyone know what is used in those "bean bag" chairs ??

thanks again all.

rice would be good, but too xpensive here and it is my main staple.

anyone try the matching sticky one side velcro. am wondering if it sticks well to denim and such. would make it a lot easier to fill, empty the bags if needed.

thanks again
