How Luffa Sponges are Made & How to Make Your Own Luffa

Luffas make for great sponges that are both free and very green. If you know how to grow and process them you'll have luffa sponges for presents your entire life! In doing research for this video we found that many people that grow luffas are from dry places. The luffas would dry out and be ready for processing. However, you don't have to wait until that stage to process your luffas. Here is a quick overview of the entire process should you decide to take up this fun botanical hobby yourself.
