Damn man - that sucks! Sometimes the companies are caring enough and may still help after the return period. Should still have a warranty of more than acfew months…worth a shot calling.
Sending good vibes your way.
Ouch! I do hope you get that palm looked at.

Warer pumps can be fairly easy to take apart and fix, depending on the pump. Google/youtube might be your best friend

Jesus, dude! Take care of yourself and get that looked at! Sorry this project has been such a pain. Maybe you can get someone to repair the cooler.

I just bought a new cooler today from somewhere more reputable. 2 year warranty on it, so no worries if the same shit happens. It’s also larger and more powerful, so more effective.
Kick in the wallet but I’m hoping I can talk them into at least a 50% refund on the first one, really I am looking for more. They’re overseas and in my experience they’ll throw cash at you before they offer a return/replacement since the shipping is so costly.

I love following your gardening posts and looking at your greenhouse pictures.
What a shame you have so many setbacks with your project 
How is your hand? Got me worried there, I am first aid trained

Made the bowl arrangement below back in January as an experiment to see if the plants would take root - they never did.
It also bothered me in retrospect that haworthia do not grow even on the same continent as cholla cactus (the wood is a cholla skeleton), so the arrangement made no sense from that perspective.
Wasn’t sure what I was going to do, but inspiration struck today. I plucked out the 3 that were still alive and put them in this new white bonsai pot. I like it a lot better.

My mum used to make jars and jars of chutney with those when there were too many to eat. Lovely memories, maybe I can recreate the recipe one day.

We filled out the Grant application to get a greenhouse. Fingers crossed!!! It would be enough for a 20 ft x 70 ft greenhouse!
