This humble bush grows quickly and efficiently throughout Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Vietnam and even into Sichuan (Chilli anyone?) and North-West Yunan.

BUT, what if you had used notes, cards, old messages, and wedding invitations that could be planted and sprout a beautiful garden filled with...

You can’t eat it (but horses can … Yum, I guess … for them). Cotton was the first plant to be grown on the moon. Now for the reveal. Drumroll, please … Yes, they are all true. Also, and most fittingly for us here at Pulp, cotton was one of the first materials to make paper. A strong but soft material, which most of us associate with getting dressed in the...
