For laundry detergent, there are a few plants that can work. The one I recommend most is horse chestnut. The nuts are NOT edible, but they have such a high saponin content that they’re basically nature’s Tide pods.

Yucca and soapwort are also good soap plants to know.

Good heavens, I had no idea there were plants to help with laundry. Stand by for the topic having to do with that, I think it’ll be an important one.

I have been trying to start soapwort from seeds and having no success.
