The Soap Tribune, Issue #172--Let's grow a sprout garden together
January 14, 2023

Live Kitchen Series

I added more sprout photos, since I am starting my sprouts as I write this.

We are almost finished with this year's fresh stored vegetables and will be breaking into the stored garden grown food.

Let's grow sprouts together.

I will be setting up micro greens in the next week or so and then moving into garden seed starts. I did a few seed swaps and got some very interesting things to grow.

Instant Liquid Soap diluting tips

I received an e mail from a local customer. She was having doubts about the Instant Liquid Soap diluting process in its compostable bag.

hand soap vs dish soap

Both hand soap and dish soap are intended to clean but are usually not the same. Most hand soaps are some sort of gentle on skin soap, intended to clean your hands but not much else.

Most dish soaps are detergents, containing harsh, non food grade chemicals that cut through grease.

As a comparison, a dish soap gel will clean 1-3 dishes before you need to add more to your sponge. The same amount of good sudsy Castile soap will clean 5-6 dishes before you need to add more to your sponge. The soap should be gentle enough to clean the dishes and your hands at the same time.

Small Biz Rocks

Remember to support your local and small businesses wherever you go. They are the life blood of a community. When you go on vacation, do you go to a big box store for entertainment or to the village for a nice dinner or a stroll to see the town?
