Moringa aka Tree of Life - Tropical Super Food Heirloom Seeds
Moringa oleifera
Listing is for 1 packet of 15 seeds

Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing subtropical, drought-resistant tree. Common names include moringa, drumstick tree, and horseradish tree. Leaves are typically used to make a caffeine-free tea. The leaves can also be dried and blended into powder form so it can be added into smoothies. The leaves are considered a super food, as it is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and high in plant based protein. It also contains all eight essential amino acids. Moringa contains 7x the Vitamin C found in oranges, 4x the calcium of milk, 4x the Vitamin A of carrots, 3x the potassium of bananas and essential trace minerals such as iron and zinc. Does best in zones 9 and warmer as it is a tropical plant. It is very fast growing and the leaves/branches are used for "chop and drop" garden practices and composting. The leaves can be soaked for a few days in water and then blended to make an all natural fertilizer. Can also be used to feed chickens.

The tree can get up to 40 feet high at maturity. It is common to cut the tree down to its trunk to make it continuously put on new growth.

PLANTING & GROWING
Germination: 1-4 weeks, it takes a long time to germinate because of its hard shell. Soak in water for 24 hours before planting into a a larger sized container filled with seed starting mix. Use a heat mat to speed up germination. 

Seed Sowing Depth: lightly cover with soil, about 1/2 inch

Sowing: Start in doors 2-3 months before your last frost date. This is a subtropical plant and it does not tolerate weather below 40 degrees Fahrenheit well. It is perennial in zones 9 and warmer. If your in a colder zone, then bring in doors for the winter.

Sun: Moringa grows best in full sun but can handle some partial shade

Soil: Moringa is not picky when it comes to soil and will grow well in poor soils like my native Florida sandy soil

Water: Does not like growing in water logged soil as this will cause root rot. Once established, mature moringa trees are very drought tolerant and survive my natural rain fall cycles here in Florida without me having to water it. 

Cold Hardiness: Moringa is a tropical plant and does not grow well in the cold. It is cold hardy (if grown outdoors) down to USDA garden zone 9. 

Harvesting the Leaves: Young tender new growth are the best leaves to harvest if eating fresh. Older leaves get tough. Commercial moringa farms harvest every 2-3 weeks which encourages the plant to constantly be putting on new growth. Harvest leaves before bad storms or hurricanes. Otherwise the strong winds will defoliate the trees and you will loose the harvest. 

Using the Leaves: Moringa leaves are excellent as an ingredient to make compost or can be used as a green maure/mulch around plants. Moringa leaves can be used to me a liquid fertilizer for plants (see my video linked below). The leaves can also be dried for longer storage. Once dry, the leaves can be blended in a blender to turn into a fine powder which is easy to add to drinks like smoothies.

Pruning/Cutting Moringa Trees: Moringa will grow to a tall tree, over 30FT tall which can make harvesting difficult. It is highly reccomended that you hard prune the tree down to your height so harvesting is easy and it keeps the tree compact in size. Literally cut the tree at the trunk. Trust me it will grow back.

There is no substitute to Flexzilla Hose
Style: Standard Grip, Size: 100ft, Color: Chartreuse, Style: Standard Grip, Size: 100ft, Color: Chartreuse
I absolutely love this hose! I purchased roughly 300 feet last year for use in my garden. It's extremely light and durable when you are dragging it around. For the most part it is kink free. If there does happen to be a kink down the line, a quick tug fixes the problem. No leaks, no shrinkage. Easy to install on any hydrant. DEFINITELY compact compared to other heavy hoses. The best part, it's super easy to coil it back up and hang in the tool shed. So I ordered a couple more 100 footers. I will definitely buy more.

PVC hose with high PHTHALATES, quickly develops black MOLD
Style: Standard Grip, Size: 3ft, Color: Chartreuse, Style: Standard Grip, Size: 3ft, Color: Chartreuse
TL, DNR ; PVC hose from Taiwan with a high level of toxic phthalates ; invaded by ineradicable sticky black mold in a few months ; the aluminum fitting can fuse to brass spigots by corrosion ; an unfriendly warranty, utterly distrustful of their customers. UPDATE. By early 2026 none of the health risks associated with this hose have decreased and remain a matter of high concern, particularly under the light of medical studies of phthalate toxicity. __ These are garden hoses produced by a company in Taiwan, which was listed in the past as a buyer of recycled plastic scrap. They are sourced by the marketer Weems Industries Inc. (IA), also doing business as Legacy Manufacturing Co., and sold under its Flexzilla brand. MATERIAL. The hyped "hybrid polymer" of Flexzilla hoses is just a plasticized polyvinyl chloride [PVC] compound. The hose consists of three layers. As described below, the analysis of a Flexzilla hose by a third-party professional lab discovered a high concentration of phthalate esters in all layers. Phthalates are toxic chemical additives widely used to make PVC flexible, and the lab finding indicates large amounts of PVC, even in the innermost layer touted as safe for water drinking. WATER SAFETY. In general, a PVC hose is much more likely to contain toxic contaminants (such as heavy metals, flame retardants, and phthalates) than a non-PVC hose, in particular when the PVC were recycled, and this is relevant to water safety. I did not find in the Legacy nor the Flexzilla website verifiable evidence supporting the PR pitch that the hoses are safe for water drinking. But in response to a 2017 customer query about water potability on the old Customer Q&A section --now later replaced by the 'ask Rufus' A-- Legacy claimed "the hose meets or exceeds the standards set by the National Sanitation Foundation" (amzn.to/2LCiKT6), which is a testing and certifying group that changed its name to NSF International more than 30 years ago. Nonetheless, at the time of this review, the NSF website does not list Legacy, Weems, or Flexzilla among those with NSF-certified products. Since the Legacy's claim could have meant testing by another party for conformance to water health-effect standards, I further searched the Web for NSF/ANSI test reports of Flexzilla hoses. I did not find any. But what I found was the _Garden Hose Study 2016_ from the Ecology Center (MI), a 55-year-old independent organization that tested 200+ hoses, including a 50-ft 5/8" Flexzilla garden hose whose material is listed just as "PVC". Multiple phthalates were detected in all layers of the hose, so --contrary to Legacy's touts of safety-- the hose was rated "HIGH" for phthalates, and received the negative evaluation of a "high overall level of concern" (see my figure with such test results). TOXICITY. Phthalates are additives for softening the PVC's vinyl and making it flexible. They are soluble in water and not bound to the vinyl, so they can easily leach into the water or the surface of a PVC hose, quite particularly if the hose were heated up by the sun. Phthalates can break down and enter the body via contact with the skin, along with ingestion or inhalation, where they act as estrogen-like anti-androgens. Exposure to them has been linked to feminizing effects on males by acting as endocrine disruptors, being able to reduce testosterone levels and impact hormone-sensitive brain development. Medical research has linked phthalate exposure to reproductive problems (PMID: 32961939), breast cancers (PMID: 30995175), and cardiovascular disease (PMID: 37269565). In fact, a global study of April 2025 estimated that about 350K heart-disease deaths were caused in 2018 alone by one phthalate still in use for tubing and other flexible plastics, even though it has been reported to cause chronic inflammation of arteries including those in the heart. These and others phthalates are commonly present in numerous other products. Despite this, only seven of the many industrially produced phthalates are restricted in the US (15 US Code §2057c), but just in products for children under 3 years of age, and toys for under 12. Be aware the current NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 standard does consider phthalates. This standard's purpose is to ensure that products and materials in contact with drinking water do not leach harmful contaminants into the water at unsafe levels, including phthalates. Further, all products sold in California containing any of a number of phthalates must display the Prop. 65 Warning: "this product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm", and Health & Safety Code notices of violation have been publicly filed against Legacy or Weems, or both, about phthalates in their products in that state. In spite of a clear familiarity with Prop. 65, Legacy did not disclose the warning on its Amazon webpages over several years. Further, Its reaction to queries about phthalates posted on the old Customer Q&A ranged from simply ignoring them, like a 2014 query (amzn.to/3cbugD9), to answers containing false claims that were never corrected, despite ample opportunity to do so, like its 2017 reply claiming the Flexzilla hose was "phathalate [sic] free" (amzn.to/2D5xQjT). Finally, perhaps relenting to criticism of non-transparent practices, in 2021 Legacy disclosed the Prop. 65 warning as a "Legal Disclaimer" above the Consumer Reviews section of this webpage. But even that was sloppily done -- in 6/2021, the warning did not appear if the 100-ft hose were selected; in 7/2022, it did not appear for the 50-ft, 75-ft, and 100-ft hoses; and in 1/2023, it again disappeared for the 100-ft hose. All diameter and length models of Legacy hoses deserve the toxicity warning. MOLD. Legacy claims the hose's outer layer "resists [...] mold". Nonetheless, about 4 months after I attached the new hose to a reel (so it was kept dry off the grass or any other wet surface), it began developing black mold, first only on its surface but later deeper. One of my attached pictures (taken after rubbing the hose with a dry paper towel to remove dirt) shows the initial surface mold, while its inset shows the same hose at the time it was installed. Not long after that, handling the black-moldy hose left sticky dark stains on my hand. This fungal invasion is neither an isolated nor a rare case, as evidenced by the large number of reviews here complaining about it (or as a "sticky goo" when touched). Mold-invaded objects are a potential health risk, and mold development in the hose's inner surface is a _major_ water safety risk. Black mold can produce highly potent mycotoxins, trichothecenes, which can reach harmful levels depending on fungal strain and growing conditions, and it can also release millions of tiny spores causing lung, ocular, and skin reactions in sensitized persons. Plasticized PVC is susceptible to fungal attack since the additives serve as a nitrogen or carbon source. The hose needs to be flushed thoroughly to wash away the mold flecks in the standing water inside. With a melamine sponge, I could remove some mold on the surface but not deeper in the tube's wall or inside -- surface cleaning is but a temporary cosmetic fix: the mold returned even after I removed the hose from the spigot and kept it in the garage. This is shown in my third photo, taken some months after having removed the moldy hose (which was hung in position for the sake of taking the picture). I contacted Legacy and spoke over the phone with a Tech Support agent, who told me, with the polite laconism recommended for legal cross-examinations, that the company does not deal with the mold invasion. After pressing the issue of health risks for my children, I was told "no mold was found in the inside of a moldy hose" Legacy claims to have cut open. Evidence of such a dissection or its results are not publicly available. In contrast, reviews here show the mold can indeed develop inside the hose. My opinion is that the company could hardly be more apathetic in relation to the potential health risk of the hoses it sells. WARRANTY. Its terms are customer-unfriendly. A defective hose would be replaced if you: [1] fill a form online ; [2] cut off both ends of the hose ; [3] cut off its defective part ; [4] cutoff the print band "Flexzilla by Legacy 5/8" ID Type 150 PSI W" on the hose, along with the 4-digit number ; and [5] mail the cut pieces to Legacy at your expense, along with [6] the proof of purchase and return mailing instructions. The hose has aluminum fittings, but no warranty coverage is provided for the highly likely possibility of the fitting _fusing_ to the brass thread of typical US house spigots due to galvanic corrosion. According to the Legacy's Tech Support, but not affirmed by judicial opinion, the mold development is not covered by the warranty -- tough luck for customers who bought hoses that became Moldy Black, a color quite unlikely to be trademarked by Weems anytime soon. It is censurable that Legacy imitates the three legendary Japanese monkeys, albeit changing the proverb to SEE NO MOLD, HEAR NO MOLD, SPEAK NO MOLD, and it is fair to conclude Legacy considers the development of mold too frequent to be covered by its unfriendly, penny-pinching warranty. ~~

Looking and acting great!
Style: Standard Grip, Size: 50ft, Color: Red Clay
As I unpacked this hose, I was dubious about its likelihood of not kinking. I stretched it out and untwisted the packing condition and waited 24 hours. I was more encouraged when I placed it on the hose rack and careful to keep it untwisted. I've used it a couple of times and so far, I'm impressed. It has not kinked once on a patio with lots of twists and turns and lots of items to get tangled upon. There has been no leaking and good water flow. I was a bit disappointed to see that the connections were composite and not brass but I should have been a more careful reader. We shall see how it holds up in the blistering Arizona sun. I love the muted clay red color on my red brick patio.

Very comfortable
Size: 36" X 24", Color: Grey, Size: 36" X 24", Color: Grey
Very soft and dries fast. I did the scoot test on them to test the grip and they passed with flying colors. Got them on a limited deal and it was worth every penny. I will be purchasing more in different colors as there are plenty of options. I haven’t washed them yet but if there’s an issue, I will definitely update this review. They are nice and thick and fell good on your feet.

Nice shower mat
Size: 50" X 30", Color: Navy
I have had it for almost a month now and run it through the washer and dryer. Its nice and soft, decent size I did not use a measuring tape to check how precise the sizing is. Absorbs the water when I step out of the shower well and doesn't feel wet or let anything through. Stays in place on the tile floor. Only challenge has been the robot vacuum cleaner gets trapped on it about half the time, but this might just be a testament to its thick nature.
