I bought a lufa sponge at walmart one time, and when I got it home I noticed it had seeds in it. HAs anybody ever grown these? I think it would be fun to grow something you can use as a wash wrag........

A fun plant to grow!
They want lots of sun, a steady supply of water, and a tremendous amount of space to sprawl ...
just imagine the biggest zucchini you ever grew.

The biggest effort was in the preparation of the "sponges" after the harvest.
I remember thinking that it was well worth the price to buy them ready-to-use.

I added a link to my previous post which shows the process in photos.

I remember it as being a "little" more labor intensive than the photos imply.

I've read about it, and it does sound interesting but does also sound like a lot of work. Maybe if it's just experience it would be well worth the work. Let us know how it goes if you decide to grow it.
