Pre-cleaning : Before using sponges in the garden, make sure to wash them thoroughly to remove any traces of cleaning products or bacteria that could affect your plants.
Gradual Replacement : If you have a lot of sponges, gradually add them to the garden, especially in areas that need more moisture retention.
Combination with other materials : For better performance, you can combine sponges with other materials such as small stones or gravel at the base of the pots, thus improving drainage and water retention.
Reusing old sponges in the garden is an eco-friendly and practical option that not only reduces waste, but also greatly benefits your plants. The next time a sponge is no longer useful for cleaning, don’t throw it away; give it a new chance to be useful in your garden. Your plants will thank you with healthier growth, and you’ll be doing your part to protect the environment, too. Become a more conscious gardener by reusing old sponges!
