    Who's doing the bonsai two step

    I installed a heater in my little greenhouse just so I wouldn't have to do the shuffle, and when winter nights get below 20 I kick it on for my hardy trees as well. I couldn't imagine putting my tropicals inside right now. it's essentially 2nd spring right now in there.

    Small 6x6 greenhouse

    Ya, my is the ol Harbor Freight Special, after one winter I know what you mean. went through about 8 tubes sealing it all up. I built a window in mine and mounted an exhaust fan (box fan) that does the trick. I was looking at making an intake vent and thought that would work well. I'll probably...

    Small 6x6 greenhouse

    Best Fertilizer for Fukien Tea

    I feed my Fukien tea like I do my other trees, a lot and often with a balanced fert. It has been doing extremely well. Had it for about a year and I've repotted, styled it, and it hasn't skipped a beat.

    Any cyclists here?

    I pulled this photo from google, but I purchased this a few months ago after not riding since I was a kid. I had no idea how much I would enjoy it. I work 7 excruciatingly long days at work then have 7 days off where I've been averaging 130 miles a week. Pretty decent entry level mountain bike...

    How did you get started in bonsai?

    I was talking to my neighboor who has these gigantic juniper bushes. She said her son always wanted to make bonsai out of them because he use to do it in the 80's. I went inside and happened to google the term b/c I didn't know anything about them. I ran into this photo and it literally blew my...

    new ponderosa? virtual?

    I have the opportunity to buy this newly collected Ponderosa for a very good price. While it's not super twisty like they can be I think there is definately a nice tree in there. I wouldn't bring it home until spring after it's pushed some new candles. From what I understand they got the whole...

    Baby Trident Maple - Techniques to Grow Out?

    I would keep it alive until spring. Remove any roots growing downward and place it ontop of a tile in the ground where you will get the fastest development. The tile will prevent roots from growing downward and will assist in growing a nice nebari.

    The Tree Thread

    Wow! do you need that front end loader to move that tree! I couldn't imagine how expensive a proper pot would be for that thing. I literally can't look away from that tree.

    did you just create the shari/jin? If so, wire some movement into that Jin while there is still time.
