KristineG Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Here's a sampling of my gardeners soap. I want to include them in gift baskets that I'm doing. The green one is citrus. I also made lavendar mint but I think I added too much purple? Is the green too light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Very pretty soaps, and I'm sure they will be a nice addition to gift baskets. I'm curious--what do you add to the m&p in order to call it gardener's soap? When I did a lot of bedding plants, my hands would get so dirty even when I wore gloves.

KristineG Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 The powdered pumice is what does the trick. I used this recipe a few months ago and handed them out around my neighborhood. I'm in FL and we do most of our gardening/planting in the winter. Everyone loved them and said they worked great. I've been receiving orders for more of them. I don't do any gardening so the only testing I could do was stick my hands in the dirt and then wash with the soap. I found the recipe on the old board posted by Mary Jennet. According to her post: "These are ideal for anybody who loves gardening. The powdered pumice gets into all the nooks and crannies to remove the ground in soil stains, whilst the tea tree is a natural antibacterial and antiseptic amongst it’s other reputed qualities. The sweet almond moisturises and softens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
