I know that! I am sure he was, and I know I was, talking in regards to the non-biodegradable ones, the ones people usually use in the bottoms of the pots as crocking material, which don't break down. Using biodegradable peanuts would SURELY be a disaster in the waiting, so make sure to test them and wet them before using them!
