The Soap Tribune, Issue #217--25% off festival coupon thru 7/31 July 13, 2023 |
Summer Music Festival SeasonEven though we have changed our lives, I still think of July as Summer Music Festival Season. It was a moment in my personal history that I'm so glad I have to have experienced. I will put my dancing shoes on in spirit!Before Andy and I streamlined bar soap making, with the proper math to produce no waste, we had many slivers of soap (scraps) that were trimmed off every batch. Each sliver was good for 1 or 2 showers. For many years, Andy and I saved these scraps. We brought them to the Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival and donated to the public showers. The best way to enjoy a camping music festival is to make sure you have great soap! If you are packing up your camping gear and festival dress up clothes, dancing shoes, hula hoops and other festival toys, here is a 25% off coupon for you. This coupon is valid through July 31, 2023 Use the coupon code summerfestival in the checkout.

Tomatoes and garlic!Keeping clean while getting dirty in the garden can be a challenge. Especially when you side dress your growing plants with compost. Side dressing means to put compost around the plants, but not necessarily touching the plants.Quickly and easily wash your garden shoes. Click the link below for garden shoe washing tips. I planted 13 varieties of tomatoes this year. Even though I carefully labeled each variety, all of the labels blew off during the heat wave we had in April, when I did an early hardening off. I tried to relabel, but now that I'm getting ready to eat some of these tomatoes, I see that I didn't always identify them correctly. It's a nice surprise to see that I have not lost any varieties and have more of some than I thought. When pruning and staking tomatoes, I do this without gloves so I don't damage the plants.
