I love these people who do these studies without actually researching properly.

Water your gardern with the water used to wash your nappies..then there is NO WASTAGE!!!!!!!

Im also interested to know what kind of cloth nappies you have Baby socks? Modern cloth nappies have come so far in the last year its not funny.

As for the bleaches...OMG *Maz freaking out* - just that B word alone scares me to death. You actually dry pail nappies with no water nothing. You wash them every 2nd to 3rd day when you have a decent amount to wash, not just one or 2.

As for the nappy rash - I think it goes part and parcel no matter what nappy you use. I just make sure that Vyolett has a fleecie cover over the top of a baby beehind nappy so her little bum can breath.

i am so looking forard to having this baby next month..Ive got a stack of prefold nappies ive made waiting to be used and there is nothing better knowing that the sunlight and wether have cleaned and sterilized the nappies im putting on my babies bums.

Good luck on your quest mate...and I do agree with rosehip - your poem in your signature is fantastic!
