2.  Travel Pillow Kit - This kit contains the instructions and materials for a small pillow that can be used as a kneeling pad.

3.  Jute Burlap and Cheesecloth - Burlap and cheesecloth can be used to cover and protect plants from the sun, wind, and insects.

4.  Organic Cotton Baker's Twine and undyed Hemp Twine - Twine works well for tying up tomatoes and other climbing plants
