Review of Single mudman
Click Here to see more reviews about: Single mudman
Product Description:
Individually hand crafted from simple unfired clays, each mud man, signally or as a grouping is constructed as one piece. They are unglazed and sun dried. There is ample detail considering that each mud man is made quickly with limited tools. Most of the small features like hair, hands wrinkles in the clothing and tea cups or scrolls are made using only small bits of clay rolled between the artists thumb and index finger. Facial expressions are produced by carving out lines with the artist finger nail.
Each small statuary is a unique creation; no two are exactly alike, though they follow traditional forms and archetypes. Some mud men may be holding a fan, others playing a game of go or enjoying a cup of tea. They are most commonly used in China as additions to bonsai or other stone or floral arrangements. Mud men are incorporated to complete the Taoist trinity so predominately portrayed in Chinese landscape paintings. They are also meant to add the illusion of scale to an arrangement. A regular Jade plant can be made to look like a tiny ancient tree with the small mud man grouping seated beneath it.

Review of 9GreenBox - 5 Money Tree Plants Braided Into 1 Tree -Pachira with 3.5" HandCraft Green Ceramic Pot
I thought if I was patient, it would show life and continue to grow but it has now been 6 weeks and I don't think it will revive.
We lived in the tropics for many years so I was excited to get such a plant and it had special meaning from my daughter to me.
Is there anything I can do? Is it possible to get it replaced so it will resemble what you describe?
I remain - disappointed! I would like to hear from you.
Thank you,

Review of Mudman Rickshaw - ceramic, sized for bonsai
I think the artisian or artist that made mine interjected a subtle sense of humor into it. When no one was looking I discreetly slipped on my reading glasses to appreciate that the sculpture has more detail than at first meets the eye. (old eyes anyway)

Product Description:
Centuries ago, Chinese horticulturists were creating miniature landscapes in a tray in an effort to capture the beauty of a favorite scenic view on a small scale.To help make these bonsai creations more realistic, they used tiny mudmen, minature buildings and boats, and other objets to add scale and proportion to their "landscapes".Our collection continues this tradition by using the same cottage industry methods of individually creating each piece from clay or 'mud'.

Review of Hori-Hori Japanese Digging Tool Stainless Steel
If I could, I'd get one for each of my gardener friends. Sometimes I might need a spade or pruners or shovel, but overall, the hori hori is often the only tool I take outside to plant and weed.
Solid, unbending steel helps pry out deep weeds or dig a hole even in packed clay or gravel. The serrated edge is great for butterflying root-bound plants. And the centimeter markings helps me properly place seedlings and bulbs.
One thing I'd recommend that's been really helpful for me is to paint the handle with fluorescent paint AND tie some long (15-20") fluorescent plastic tape through the hole so that you don't lose it in the dirt; there'll always be some pink or orange ribbon sticking out even if you bury the hori-hori by mistake.
I've buried my hori hori twice. Once I actually called the local metal detector club to help me find it (it was within plain view of my back door for 4 months). The other time, I just ran out and bought a new one.
I've never damaged the blade on one of these. I killed the wood handle by leaving it buried for 10 months in soggy Seattle, but I still use the blade alone.
ANOTHER GARDEN TOOL RECOMMENDATION: Get a Circle Hoe.

Product Description:
This fast-growing ornamental tree reaches up to 30' tall, has graceful weeping branches and feathery pinnate leaves, and produces clusters of attractive rose/red aromatic berries. With time, the trunk becomes an enhancing gnarled feature as with an aged olive tree. Subtropical. Easily grown indoors. Also makes a great bonsai!
All parts of the tree have high oil and essential oil contents that produce a spicy, aromatic scent. The leaves of the pepper tree have such a high oil content that leaf pieces jerk and twist when placed in hot water as the oil is released. The berries, which have a peppery flavor, are used in syrups, vinegar, and beverages in Peru; are added to Chilean wines; and are dried and ground up for a pepper substitute in the tropics. The dried berries have also been used as an adulterant of black pepper in some countries.

Product Description:
Shipping Begins April 15th!
'Don Egolf' is somewhat more compact in growth habit (9' tall by 9.5' wide in 15 years) than seedling Chinese Redbuds. When in flower it really is a sight to behold, with its bright rosy-mauve flowers so tightly packed on the stems as to obscure the bark. The floral display is all the more impressive because you'll find flowers solid from the branches all the way to the ground. The plant in full flower actually looks a lot like a pinata done in shrub-form. We must not fail to mention that this variety is also completely sterile, so there is no need to worry about reseeding or untidy pods hanging-on all winter.
Also makes a spectacular bonsai!
