Stevia Rebaudiana Sugar Grass - 61900

Other common names are Sweetleaf, Sugarleaf or Sugar Grass. Overseas it is widely grown for its sweet leaves. Easy to grow. As a sugar substitute, Stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar. Cooking with Stevia does require a learning curve, but since the advantages of reducing sugar in your diet (as well as eliminating your consumption of aspartame and other artificial sweeteners) are so important, it's well worth the effort. The most important thing to remember is not to use too much, which can result in excessive sweetness and an aftertaste. Try this website: www.cookingwithstevia.com

(x10) Jiffy Strips - 5cm Squares - 9102

ON BACKORDER WITH OUR SUPPLIER UNTIL SEPTEMBER. Introducing the Jiffy Strip: the eco-friendly choice for gardeners. First popularized in the 1950s, the Jiffy Pot remains a favorite due to its biodegradable and plastic-free design. Made from natural materials, it decomposes in the soil, eliminating transplant shock by allowing you to plant seedlings directly in their new location without removing the pot. These strips have pre-pressed holes, allowing excess water to drain out of the bottom. We are finding it harder and harder to source Pete Pots. So we have now switched to Jiffy Strips. Cell size: 50mmx50mmx50mm Unit Size: 310mmx100mmx50mm.
