    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?

    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!
