The pot will get lighter as a result. Additionally, the peanuts have spaces surrounding them, which makes it easy for water to escape the soil layer above. Moreover, packing peanuts cannot be recycled, so this is a wonderful method to put them to good use instead of throwing them in the trash. Additionally, if you order a bundle, they are free.
