WOW! That's incredible, how people are different.
I just love watering my trees, and I do it twice a day around here. It's always a good time for me, the smell, the droplets, the spray of the japanese hose...
I really enjoy it!

Oh, thanks for the link! Very grateful, I will try with Onodera. Thanks a lot!

Right.
People here get Japanese garden scissors that cost less than 10 Euro from Daiso and resell them as "bonsai Japanese shears" for 100 Euros.
And... Many innocent beginners buy them.

That's the English language.
In Portuguese the same word has a much softer meaning, like "profound dislike", but I couldn't find the right one word to translate it into English.
Lost in translation, sorry.

That's singular; in Portuguese "I have aversion towards you" is a much harder feeling (and word) than "I hate you", which we say joking all the time. In fact the first is very offensive.

When you want to/have to go out of town and must rely on someone or nature to water your trees.

Well...if all my trees are in one spot and not so far from each other I wouldn't mind so much, but my backyard has lots of mature trees so full sun is at a premium so I have to drag my hose to 3 diff location to water that's why I don't like it. It's time consuming.

Sawing through thick, dense, HEAVY nursery rootballs and finding that the tree was planted in a large container with hessian and wire still intact. really fecks up the bow saw blade, luckily this one didnt have the wire still in it.
it can be rewarding once all the hard work is done tho

Ohw, yeah. Share this feeling. I have too many blunt saws to only then realize.. The replacement blades are flimsy quality!

I used to hate buying pots... one of my favorite things now. I used to hate wiring... one of my favorite things now. I used to hate unwiring... definitely not one of my favorite things now but I enjoy the transformation that comes with wiring and unwiring brings me closer to the next metamorphosis. The thing I hate most about bonsai... disease and pestilence... and in particular spider mites (though fungus is a close second).

Oh man, its a relief when you get the new blade and it goes through like butter, very satisfying feeling.
the bahco bow saw replacement blades are top notch. the bahco bow saw has tons of great reviews on amazon.

I have close to 100 trees and some monster size ones too, watering can would take a lot more effort.
