My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

any book recommendation for beginners

5 years ago

I am interested in growing trees from seed as a hobbyist. However I don't know anything about trees or how to extract the seeds from tree or process of planting the seed. Is there any book gives me these fundamentals. Please don't give me a book that is either too academic or too comprehensive. I want to take a small steps at a time. Thank you
