Re:Blue Jeans for bedding? - 2008/07/04 20:36
Hi,
Just thought I would chime in here.
Two of my favourite bedding materials are corrugated cardboard, and egg carton cardboard (same stuff used for disposable drink trays at fast food restaurants). I find that the latter material holds water very well and also breaks down very quickly (given that it is cardboard). If you want a little extra absorption, try mixing some coconut coir in with your cardboard - I've noticed that in my area (Ontario, Canada) this material is becoming much more common in stores.
As others have said, while denim will certainly break down eventually, it will take a long time in comparison to other common bedding materials. I remember putting a t-shirt in an outdoor worm bin a number of years ago - it eventually broke down, but as I recall it took a LONG time to do so (similar to Redhen's experience with boxers).
Cheers
B
