I came up with this hack over the last couple of days for holding on to a cola while I'm wet trimming. Not sure if anyone's ever done this before and it's hard to look up specifically on Google.
So I'll take credit for it lol.
You can hold the cola by the stem and that is often great for part of the trim but that gets annoying and is a lot of extra work holding on to it.
I have hung the cola on a line or wire before. That works but it moves around a lot.
So I came up with a method where you put the stem between your two cupboard doors like in your kitchen.
You open both doors together insert the stem at whatever height and angle you want the cola to be and then you close the doors evenly and it will secure your cola.
Obviously your cupboard doors have to have generally the right gap between them. It doesn't have to be much. In fact you want it to act like a vice when you close both doors together.
It's often very easy to adjust the doors at the hinges. You might also want to make sure your hinges are tight.
The kind of hinges I'm talking about are the ones that are on most cupboard doors these days they have adjustments built into them
It's very secure. The length of the stem will affect its positioning and whether it bounces around. Shorter can be better but experiment. It is so secure it feels like you could hang a weight from the cola lol
Makes it so easy to get in with the scissors and not have the cola moving around. You can use two hands one to hold the leaves and the other hand to cut the petiole.
My official name of the hack is Kitchen cabinet door compression as a trimming anchor.
