Just wondering if anyone out there uses bleach and water to clean there gourds and if you also use anything to help preserve them. Thanks for the help. John

Hey John, Keeping a close eye on gourds here for anything bad happening. Haven't done anything to them yet! Short of a crack into the interior, they seem to last pretty well,
even then it takes a while for them to it.

thanks Bob, I used a 10 percent solution to wash the exterior and it seems fine. Only 92.25 but for VT that is a real long gourd. Hoping to show it off at our weigh off. Thanks. john

What's this only 92 stuff..........90 is the bottom of the top. Or is it the top of the bottom? Some jerks would have you believe it is the cream of the crap. Let them show their 90 and ups. :))) Nice grow John.
