	Adjustable Frame Traditional 460mm adjustable frames (yoke frames) are clumsy and heavy, particularly when the sleeve is full of paint. This yoke frame is lightweight yet heavy duty in function. Made of aluminium, this frame has a patented mechanism making it easy to use. It can semi-automatically extend from 305mm to 460mm. Fortune Tools Tel: (03) 9882 6310
	Bloomin' Marvellous Richgro’s new organic Rose Marvel™ is ideal for creating beautiful, healthy, disease-free rose gardens.
