Following. I’ve been wondering too. How to use them.

I drained them with a paper towel over a watering container and it worked perfectly to get the excess clumps out!

Looking for a nylon, but couldn’t find one so I just use two paper towels that I knew could hold the access but with the water would go through

I put these in tea bags, much easier than straining the loose bits after soaking IMO!
