Are you tired of lifting heavy bags of potting soil, and trying to find places to store what's left over after a project? Your problems are solved with a tube of Wonder Soil™ Wafers. Just a cup of water, and one soil wafer expands to 14 times its original volume.

Great for seed starting, one wafer fills a 4-inch pot. Or add water to all 18 in the 1-pound tube and you'll have the equivalent of a 10-pound bag of regular potting soil. This lightweight, soilless medium is made of coconut coir, peat moss and water-absorbing polymers.

An excellent potting mix for all types of plants, including houseplants, palms, cacti and container vegetables.

Allows you to mix only the amount of potting soil you need when you need it, extra wafers store away until you need them again.


Wonder Soil is fertilizer-rich dehydrated peat which expands when you add water. One 14 oz. container is equivalent to 10 lbs. of regular soil. Its coir-peat mixture with polymers and nutrients allows it to absorb, store and release water so that you have to water your plants much less often than you would with normal potting soil.
  $10.95  Per tube of 18 wafers.



PF01 PotteryFactory Pot Maker
Makes THREE different pot sizes: 1 ¾”, 2 ¼” & 3 ¼” diameter, in any height up to 5”..and you can make 1 3/4" compressed potting soil or seed starter pellets in any thickness you want.

The components in the PotterFactory® kit allow you to make your own pots using waste paper and old newspapers. Now, you can reuse your newspapers for something practical.

The PotterFactory Kit Tools are designed to last forever. Can even be left outside without fear of damage.
Rugged heavy vinyl cylinders with all ends machined and rounded to eliminate sharp edges.
Cylinders are etched with paper alignment marks to consistently create the perfect pot.

Jewelweed is an effective natural herbal remedy for poison ivy, poison oak, okra spines, stinging nettle, and other irritating plants; as well as bug bites and razor burn. Jewelweed is also known as spotted touch-me-nots and is used in herbal medicine for acne, heat rash, ringworm and many other skin disorders. Jewelweed is a native plant of Eastern North America that grows in the woods, often near poison ivy. You will usually find this plant in damp shady areas. If you contact poison ivy in the woods, find some jewelweed. Get a big handful of it and roll it around in your hands till the jewelweed juice begins to squeeze out. Rub the juice on any area exposed to poison ivy. Also pick some to take home and freeze for later use
Jewelweed Soap is used in bath or shower after exposure or at first signs of poison ivy/poison oak itch for best results and to prevent breakout. Regardless of the extent of poison ivy or oak rash, or how long you have had it; you should see great improvement in rash within hours. The first Jewelweed treatment is expected to help dramatically with itching.
Glycerin based Jewelweed tincture is now available in a plastic spray bottle for convenient applications. Apply to areas affected by poison ivy 3 times a day after washing with jewelweed soap. Stinging or warming may occur on sensitive areas. Be sure to do a patch test before applying on large areas. It is not for internal use. 1-2 ounces may be used as a bath soak for at least 20 minutes to ease widespread rash.

Saltpeter for Seed Germination

Most species of seeds have hard casings to protect the seed "embryo". For most of these "hard" seeds, the outer shell must be scarred, scratched or softened in some way. Some species take up to a year to germinate and will need help in the beginning to get the shell softened. Most varieties of slow germinating seeds will turn black and rot if there is not sufficient heat in the soil (75 to 90 degrees F. for most species) or if the soil dries out or is allowed to remain too wet, which will encourage the growth of one or another of the varieties of fungus or mold. It is important to speed up germination and to get the plants growing as soon as possible in order to avoid potential problems.
Anyone who has soaked dried beans before cooking is familiar with the process of softening up the shell. When the outer shell is softened it allows the contents to expand. Potassium Nitrate (Saltpeter) can help in softening up these outer shells. It is available in many drug stores, but for those who have difficulty obtaining a small amount, we offer 1 tablespoon packets for $1.95.
Soak the seeds in a solution of ¼ tablespoon of the Saltpeter to one pint of warm water for at least 24 hours. Do not allow the seeds to dry out but sow them immediately using the remaining solution to water the soil or other growing medium. Soak several species of seeds at once in smaller containers of the same solution and have the containers of growing medium or soil ready for planting as soon as the soaking period is complete.
G51 Potassium Nitrate (Saltpeter) one tablespoon packet $1.95
