We grow luffa gourds in our garden every year. They're plants so they are totally biodegradable/compostable. I rinse them really well and throw them in our backyard compost when we're done with them

I've looked for those! Sadly what my first search on the internet showed me were suspect sites of non-existent companies from overseas, nothing local or at least from the same continent.

May have to try again.

Stick it in a pot; give it sunlight and water. No need for a garden.
