Wait, they said point cutting for blending? That's actually wild because most barbers I know avoid it for speed. @wesley181 is right to ask about technique, but I'm shocked that blog admits it takes more time. You really see the difference in how the layers fall, choppy vs soft.

Recycling it cuts down on waste, @emma_dixon70, even if it's not perfect.

Actually, about the bulk thing, I get what you mean, but it's not always that simple. If knee pads are too bulky, they can mess with your balance or even cause you to trip. I've seen people skip them because the wrong kind makes working harder, not easier. The key is finding ones that are low profile but still protective. So yeah, wear them, but make sure they're the right fit for what you're doing. Otherwise, you might end up with different problems, lol.

My friend mixed in a bunch of compost and some peat moss last spring. Her pepper plants totally blew up from that blend.
