How To Make & Grow A Loofah Sponge
Today’s feature is from Groovy Green with their instructions on how to grow Luffa (or Loofah) and make your own luffa sponges
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. Many people are surprised when they find out I grow my own Luffa sponges. “Don’t those come from the sea?”, is the standard question to which I respond that the Luffa is a vegetable you can grow in your very own garden.

It’s too late to get this going for this year, but what a handy thing to keep in mind for the next growing season :). I just assumed that Loofah sponges were from the sea and not vegetables from the garden!
Quick Tip: Loofah Sponge Too Rough?: If you find a loofah sponge is too rough on your skin, try boiling it in hot water for about 5 minutes. Drain the water then rinse in cold water to cool down. That should soften it up for you to use.
