Non-biodegradable dust. I had a cushion of foam stored on top of some boxes beneath the attic window one summer, and it became dust in my hands when I wanted to take it downstairs and use it. It was just like in a mummy film, when the mummy becomes dust as the hero touches it! I wouldn’t use it in the garden – the sun would dry it out and make it into dust in almost no time.

It could also be an amazing wall light- build a box, put some low wattage lights in there, cover it with the foam (keep the foam a safe distance away) and hang it with some french brackets.
