Great information. Love how you always give us good ideas for our garden. ❤
Amazing!!!
Great video. Keep it coming.
If you take loofah and cut it down one side, then cut the connecting sections from the center, you are left with a flat sheet. The shape is convenient as a washcloth or a general scrubby towel.
I very much appreciate the information. The details on how to use most of these plants do seem a bit vague. "Some water" or "some vinegar" or "a little bit of.." is not specific enough for using them effectively. Where could I get more information about making up the various solutions?
Great video, so much useful information! How big does moringa grow and are roots bad for foundations?
I was looking for the soapberry in your shop. Do you still sell it?
This channel is a Florida treasure 🌟
So many cool tips. I LOVED learning that sunshine mimosa and perennial peanut are nitrogen fixers. Makes me want to plant it instead of grass even more now. I also want to try the shampoo!
Thank you for the information
The shampoo ginger really is beautiful and useful. Good list.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 💖🙏✌️
Excellent video
