Using a piece of red earth
1 part of crushed
2 parts coarse sand river
2 parts of organic matter ....

So she said so in two months ....

Right at the base had a root that was above the others and very thin, so I decided to withdraw ...


One of the dead branches tbm was removed, but still no work has been done to refine the cut ...
