What do you do with those styrofoam packing peanuts?

[Delphinus]

Yeah, true, but .. I've been using that as a justification for keeping them the last who-knows-how-many-years. Thing is, even with a lot of plants, I won't use up 3 Glad bags of them. It's a little like draining a lake using an eyedropper ... while it's raining. The stupid things self-replicate, I swear. Well .. it's just that I'll use up maybe 20 peanuts repotting a plant, and then get another 2000 when I mail-order the next thing.

I just hate throwing out styrofoam but what are we supposed to do, ..... it's too much.

Prank someone and fill their car with them?

[Delphinus]

I like that one!!!

[andsoitgoes]

i eat them.


............


well, okay - maybe not - I'm bad, I used to throw them away.

OR - I torture people I ship stuff to with them.

Why not just do that? I'm sure you've got stuff to sell!!!

Hehe I used to love shipping stuff to people as I'd fill as much of the box as I could with them, even if it didn't need peanuts

Then I discovered we had a giant box at work where people would recycle them. I just kept on adding to their pile

Put them in Grocery bags ( you get too many of those too unless you own dogs) tie the bags up and throw them in your attic. Years from now you keep doing that and they might pay for themselves.

You can put them in the bottom of your flower pots to help with drainage. Perfect time of year to use up some of those peanuts.

Yeah .. I actually tried unloading them at work at our shipping department. They pretty much begged me not to, apparently we have several tonnes worth. See, I was thinking that "in that case, they won't notice a couple more pounds worth" but they didn't see it that way.
