Hey, give me a bar of soap and I’m happy and clean. However, I realize that some of you may need shower toys for some money-wasting reason that I’m not aware of. So, we are going to point you to a place that will tell you how to grow your own luffa, loofa, loofah, etc.
The GroovyGreen site shares some wisdom and you better get started. It looks like this takes a year!
For the third autumn in a row I am pleased to be harvesting my shower sponge for next year. Now I know that must sound like a strange statement but it’s true.
