A Pink Plant with Pink Babies on its Leaves
We have created a plant room in the conservatory for putting our cactus, succulents, house leeks & house plants.
we have been creating cactus gardens in terracotta pots. grafting cactus and propagating cactus, creating cactus babies and house leeks too.
I recently moved in to a new house and a new garden. I have been gardening and building entertainment for my two children, to give them options of entertainment other than TV.

    I just sharpen mine with an angle grinder with the blades still on, mind you I use it everyday for work and get a new blade set every 4 or 5 months. I would of had that sharpened in 10 minutes before work. Also having a few trimmers works as you don't knacker the conifer trimming blade on heavy cutting hedges, shrubs, high tensile wire, stones and secret hidden angle irons stuck in the ground. Gotta love them for taking out teeth🤣

      Hi, it will probably grow back, I have cut down so many bushes and trees over the years. The ones that struggle to come back usually have very thick stems. For example a bush that is very old and has a stem as thick as a tree. But in most cases they come back.

    Tip1 , the underside nuts that the sockets doesn't fit on, use a flat head screw driver and jam that in the gap, then do up the opposing side, they don't need to be supa tight. Tip 2, the lube tube actually screws into the hole, then squeeze the greese out, then unscrew the tube. Good upload on sharpening. thx
