The sponges are incredibly versatile and can be used in so many ways, from in the kitchen to the shower and you can even make them into amazing exfoliating luffa soap among other creative things!

I live on a 2 acre piece of land in New Zealand where we are turning a grass paddock into and abundant, edible paradise and food forest! So come along on this journey with me as I experiment with growing, and try to push the limits of what I can grow. I'll share with you my successes and failures so hopefully you'll learn from them and have a go yourself! Come learn with me and Subscribe to join this awesome community :)
