Today, I’m making & cutting Gardeners soap. This all natural soap will help cleanse grease and grime from hard working hands. You can use as a gardener soap or mechanics soap, as it is high in Coconut oil which is great for cleaning caked on dirt and grease. This soaping tutorial is part of my building raised garden beds series and I have provided the recipe for you to make at home. Feel free to comment, or is you have any questions, I’d love to help! 😀💖

Would this soap work as a degreaser for working in shops? It looks awesome!
I'm an intuitive so this was a great fine for me because I really love the whole tubular or circular soap and I'm an aspiring soapmaker but I'm not in a position to even begin I've never made any soap and have an awful lot to learn but I've been watching for the last few months online and it's wonderful to hear you talk about the tangerine that is exactly what information I was given that I should blend these two cents together I can't wait to hear how that worked out for you hopefully you've done a follow-up or included it at the tail end of this video
TFS is your tangerine and sandalwood fragrance premixed? If so where did you purchase this please?
That looks like cinnamon swirl biscuits!
It looks like you’re doing cold process? How long do you wait before you use your soap?
Beautifully executed and I especially like that your NOT AFRAID to share your recipe.
Im totally making your soap. Thank you for taking your time to educate.
