Adding a wrist pad and checking your elbow angle can prevent that kind of strain.

@oliviabennett, kid drawings? Harsh. Your early stuff had its own vibe.

My broccoli got way crispier without it. Tossed them in a tiny bit of oil and seasoning, way better.

Did you find that Holbein set on a major sale? I use their oils for exterior work and a starter set usually runs closer to $80. The pigment density is why it captures light better, student grades have more filler. That quality difference is exactly what keeps my crews from needing touch-ups so often.

Blumat stakes are a good call. I once tried to rig a watering system with vinyl flooring scraps, and let's just say my ferns were not impressed. Still cheaper than those Gardyn things though.
