Loofas for Scrubbers

RE: Loofas for Scrubbers By mikki (96) Profile Blog! Contact nimwe, if you still get message......I grew loofahs in the summer of 2005, from seeds sent from another yahoo group, and they grew wonderfully. My first time so I didn't know what to expect. Unfortunately I didn't have the time needed for all my harvesting like I planned on and ended up having them all unused. I was going to make them as gifts for friends. They used up enough space but not too much, and I left them grow on the ground since I had the space. Pumpkins took up more space. If you can't find seeds in Australia, email me at gp04gal04@yahoo.com and in 5 months I can start looking around here in Wisconsin.

Contact I've never tried growing them myself but here's a great link with lots of information about growing, harvesting and cutting loofas. http://www.luffa.info/ Susan from ThriftyFun Posted on 08/18/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Loofas for Scrubbers By Lynda (Guest Post) I have been told that Loofa/gourd growing is a huge messy vine, requiring LOTS of space and support like a clothes line to support the weight. Can they be sold anywhere? Is there a profit to be made? I know House-bunny toys are often made of Luffa. Does anyone sell them cheaply? Don't they require a lot of water? I live in Texas, so any info would be appreciated. lyndagayle62 AT aol.com Posted on 08/18/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Loofas for Scrubbers By susanmajp (944) Profile Contact Unlike sea sponges, I believe that loofas are actually gourds. After you grow them, you hang them to dry, then clean them up and cut into any size sections that you want. I've seen them in seed catalogs, but am not sure on the climate needed to grow them. My grandfather grew them in northern Ohio, so I know that they can tolerate that climate.
