On my way to go find some needles to make a brush! Cat, this is lovely and unlocked a memory for me: when we lived in Poland, we must've had a horse chestnut tree in our yard because I vividly remember playing with them, both in spiky and smooth form.
Time for me to give this a try I think. We live backing onto allotments we’re there is a row of very mature chestnut trees so no shortage of conkers around here. Thanks for this
My Horse Chestnut Tree is only 3ft high (planted last year) so I shall be going for a walk with a bag to collect some. They are mostly in parks around here but I think it's ok to take them. I believe you can also use Yukka roots and ivy leaves as laundry cleaner - have you tried them?
What a great, natural solution (heh heh) for laundry! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for reading!

Happy brush-making! 😁 I've just been out for a walk and have "accidentally" come home with another pocketful of conkers...

I've heard of using ivy leaves, but I've never tried them. I didn't know about yukka roots, but that's not really something I have available here!
