Certainly the inner membrane, because nappies are remarkably good at keeping babies' bums dry, so used as is will probably leach all the moisture out of your plants!

Just personal preference, as I like to mix the crystals in with the soil rather than have a reservoir.

Good point, hadn't thought of that.

I personally just line the basket with a nappy, soak it well, add compost and plants, soak again.

what does YS mean please? I've figured out it refers to the reduced section in a supermarket, but not what the letters stand or!

Always tuck your curtains down behind the radiator when you close them, if they are suitable......that way the heat comes into the room and not up behind the curtains to warm the window.

I have a cheap free-standing clothes rail in garden - clothes on hangers straight from washing machine onto rail - straight in wardrobe when dry - no ironing!

I love drying outside, and on a good drying day, I'm running around looking for things to washt! Roll on spring/summer!

I often put clothes that I don't want to use pegs on, on hangers and just hang them on the line, placing a clothes peg close to each side of the hook to stop them moving about the line.

Forgot to say that I also put clothes pegs either side of those "smalls" multi peg thingymajigs (I have no idea what they are called), to stop them flying about the line too.
