Here is the ultimate use for used Layena bags. You could build a bomb resistant, fire proof, bug proof chicken coop

or even a house for yourself and family. Check this out, this house was built by some friends of mine. http://www.earthbagbuilding.com/articles/honeyhouse.htm

I doubt it was because of a mold issue. Plastic HOLDS moisture, and doesn't breathe like paper does. Must be another issue JMHO

I was going to say I like your idea of growing plants in them, but then I saw this idea... I love it! It makes me want to save all of my bags to make a honeycomb play house or dog house, just to see if I could do it.

That house is the coolest!

I went to the site mentioned in the article and was very pleased to see many options for recycling these in my area:

Not a big deal since we already try to recycle as much as we can and already take stuff to these places.

If there is anyone local to me, San Francisco bay area, I am happy to use your bags for our grocery tote project

That was really a cool house Moabite! Although I don't know how well it would hold up in the Eastern part of the country. Are you in a dry region?

Anyone else notice since they switched to plastic bags the layena pellets have a lot more powder/dust in them. I am planning on switching brands since there is now so much waste.

Acutally, I don't use Parina. I use the Southern States Food Store near me, they have thick paper feed bags and I use them to line the bottoms of my brooders, and to put trash in. However, if I did use Parina and had those bags I think I would use them to cover the screened windows to my chicken house in the winter to cut down on the draft coming through, instead of buying plastic to do so....white side out of course so ppl. will not see a bunch of colors at the window that don't match.
