Is Fiskars a good brand?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fiskars are on the cutting edge when it comes to quality and value. I love a nice sharp pair of scissors when I need one, and there are no better all-purpose scissors than a classic pair of Fiskars. I have used other brands, both more and less expensive, but none have matched the quality of Fiskars.

How do you make oleanders bushy?

What can I do to make a sturdier, bushy plant? ANSWER: Some nurseries wrap and tie the young stems around a stake until they are large enough to carry the weight of the bloom.

Which Felco secateurs to buy?

If you are left-handed then you will need the Felco model 10 secateurs. If you have smaller hands and find the model 7 too large you would be better going for the model 12. If you are a professional gardener and don't want the rotating handle which some don't then the model 6 should be what you are looking for.
