The best indoor garden for every type of gardener in 2021
It's worth mentioning that the watering system makes a moderate amount of noise -- akin to one of those zen water fountains -- for about 15 minutes every few hours. It was mildly irritating at first but I quickly adjusted and now I actually find it relaxing. The frame is also heavy once you fill it with water, so it is not a garden to be moved often. It's bulky too, but when the greenery starts to bloom it adds a ton of life and atmosphere to any room. That said, it's still probably not great for a tiny home or apartment. … [Read more...] about The best indoor garden for every type of gardener in 2021

36 all-out to 2-1: key factors in India’s defiant comeback in the 2020-21 Australia tour
Australia not hunting as a packAustralia’s injury worries were no match to India’s, yet their frontline attack of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon were unable to blow a depleted Indian XI away after the Adelaide Test. While Cummins and Hazlewood combined to take 38 wickets in the series, Lyon and Starc managed only 20 wickets in total. Starc failed to deliver his famed yorkers and at times lacked control, allowing India easy boundaries to release the pressure. Lyon was cleverly negated by the Indian batsmen, and wasn’t a big threat on wearing fifth-day pitches. Australia ended up relying on two bowlers primarily and the fifth bowler was under-utilised. … [Read more...] about 36 all-out to 2-1: key factors in India’s defiant comeback in the 2020-21 Australia tour
