Thanks guys! The clay at the beginning of the video that anchors down the stones are 100% pottery clay. The cheapest stuff I could find. It's more stable than the muck that we later use to build the walls.It works well to keep things anchored into place until the roots grow in. For muck, I add...

I finally got around to collecting pics of a few landscape plantings I've made throughout the years. Thought you guys might be interested. Please let me know your thoughts. ;) EDIT: Hmm… the inline gallery doesn't work for me but works if you click through.

Saikei is a passion of mine (even moreso than bonsai). I will admit that my perspective is sorta limited though, as I'm in California, and all of my experience has been with artists from California. Michael Hagadorn is an amazing artist and his pieces are absolutely stunning, but I would not...

I made it up to the Koen-nai no Bonsai event in Fresno this past weekend, and it was a blast. If you haven't visited the Clark Bonsai Collection at Shinzen, you really should. The new display area looks amazing. Here's our club's coverage of the event. http://bit.ly/Gazette-May2016 And for...
