Anyone here use Hydrating Beads ?
I bought a pound or so 10 years ago and decided to use them this year.
I use a red wagon and 2 buckets one for a weed or two and the other had beads and trowel and gloves etc.

Long story short The wagon tipped over where the garden border meets the stone path.
Not to worry ,right?
About a cup spilled so I swept as much as I could into the garden and the lawn .
BAD idea. Two days of rain and the darned things swelled up to create a slimy mess on the walks and a slippery mess in the lawn.
It doesn't disappear just keeps swelling when it rains. I have no idea how to deal with this. I am OK with leaving it in the garden , but the grass is a accident waiting to happen.
