    Ohh I returned that bucket mop as it didn't work out for my height. I got a spray one and yet to use it.

    My builder has kept 2 trees themselves in the front of the house. I am not sure if we can change it or not. It's there on all the houses. But we never been told about the circumference and things. I will check that out.

    I have interest to do gardening, but I don't know what to do .I will start reading and see blogs/vlogs about it. Seeing the garden pictures on vlogs will give an idea.

    The problem is, I don't know how to maintain it. I mean, how to protect it from direct sunlight and without drying.

    Do you plant seeds first like in the seeding tray and then put it back in a pot or how do you do for veggies and herbs?

    Couple of things I discovered about cordless vacuums in the past year.

    If you have a Lithium Ion battery at home for the DeWalt power tools like drill, you can use that battery on a Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner. It needs an adaptor that is available on Amazon. You'll have to buy the exact adaptor based on which Dyson cordless model you have (V8, V9, V10 ... animal, slim stick...)
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDBYDFCV/ The DeWalt battery can serve as a Dyson battery replacement or as an additional battery.

    Lesser know cordless vacuum brands such as Ryobi or Hompany are worth buying if one's budget is low. I bought this Hompany model for a college apartment and it is working fine:

    I might get one myself to use in the garage. : )

    I have both a Dyson cordless and Miele. I prefer my Miele because even though Dyson may be lightweight and cordless, its filter needs to be rinsed and dried thoroughly frequently before it can be re used. I love my Miele vaccum. It may be corded and heavier but boy does it suck!!

    As far as mops go, Ive tried Bissel Little Green Pro Heat, Bissel Steam Fresh, Swiffer and O Cedar. Of all I liked Bissel Steam Fresh for steam mopping and Swiffer for use and throw and go convenience.
