no like those stryo peanuts either….I call the stuff ghost poop!
My XYL uses then to line the bottom of her planters…works great for her.
I have an Eagle in route to a guy in Germany….the rig is wrapped in thin bubble wrap, boxed and then I wrapped the box with enough bubble wrap to fit into another stouter box.
Filled the void with some ghost poop though….
