Has anyone reading this tried filling the pouch with something like buckwheat husks instead of water?

I would imagine the static between the husks and the plastic pouch would make that very difficult and messy. Remember that the trick with this pillow is to be dense enough to support your head in a way that it is aligned with your spine (specially for side-sleepers). That usually requires adding or removing water, then trying it and observing the alignment of your spine.

Not very well. Tried with dry cedar shavings, dry ripped paper towel, dry paper, then finally the same paper with kerosene on it... Nothing. Lots of sparks tho...sure was pretty.

it turned out good. I just should have used a whole cup of hemp seeds. it was kinda watery but ill know next time. I also added the agave nectar about a tsp. and a drop or too od almond flavor. But I think if you were to purchase follow the directions of almond milk that what I did but should have used a cup full. hope this was helpful

It doesn't look like seeds but it's definitely not the fine powder. I've bought that too and apparently it has a different result. The whole husks, which are still quite fine, add bulk.

I haven't done it myself, but from the properties I know, you can poke a pencil by the roots and drop a pinch of the water crystals in each hole and cover it back up. It will expand a lot, so don't overdo it - 1/2 cup will fill up a desk wastebasket when water is added. A byproduct is that it will loosen the soil over and over again as it expands and contracts.

Definitely yes.When using it, mix the dry buckwheat groats with a raw, scrambled egg. This prevents the buckwheat groats from sticking to itself. Delicious flavor.

don't know have not tried it - if cost is reasonable we may - the virg. diet is pretty tasty & filling - very expensive & container much to big for the content -

I had some luck with textures- but also some trouble. It really depends. Most everything went in fine, but not always out easily. My oatmeal was fine- but it was also pured with fruit, which helps. I had a ground turkey/peas/carrots combo that gave me trouble. In the end, the clogs weren't bad thru the spout, but much more difficult while using the spoon attachment. I loved the system so much for storage, that in the end, if there was a major clog, I'd just cut off the top and spoon feed from the pouch.

I haven't tried that - just mix it into wet food. I'm not sure that the powder would disolve... Curious if you made this work

Use a funnel and it's not too bad. You will have to clean up a little bit of oil so I do it over cardboard.

I imagine you can. I haven't tried it but I did try reloading the pod and covering up the top with a piece of foil. It didn't taste good. You can buy new covers on Amazon and try that. I haven't.

I have not but it sounds like something I would like to try. I'm sure it would work, it would just have to be sliced in half most likely.

I doubt it. I'm thinking that aroma could be fermenting buckwheat itself still in some hulls after it was exposed to either water or humidity before it was used as stuffing. Only the hulls should be used. That's all that's in mine with no odor. If you open yours, perhaps you'll see some mold. Either way, I wouldn't keep it hoping it goes away before it makes buckwheat beer :-)

I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like it would work better, disposables get clogged this one doesn't. If you do please let us know the results.

You're welcome ;) but I've just noticed something about your question I missed before; I'm curious to ask if you're seeking to achieve a "moisture-absorptive effect" in cooking or in your intestines.

I believe that you "could" do it - there is a zipper to adjust the amount of buckwheat fill. As the other responder noted, there is no lavender added, and it would probably be less problematic to add dried to the buckwheat, rather than using an oil-based product.

We have not heard of anyone doing this sort of thing with the blood meal. I have not tried myself either as I just apply the powder itself around my gardens to keep out rabbits and deer.
