My brother had squirrel problems around his many bird feeders. Lived on the edge of a large wooded area. He would sit at the bedroom window with a pellet gun and he shot over 80 squirrels one year. Others will just move in when the area opens up. I killed a few at my place but same thing was...

I agree with the pellet gun, but not to kill the cat. Just put 2-3 "pumps" on it and sting the cat. It will not forget that. I did this with squirrels a few years ago. Was killing them weekly all summer but when one dies off it just gets replaced with a new one. Then I just started...

Nice looking RoR, did you by chance get it from Ebay seller doc's_bonsai? It looks like one of his creations. I have a couple them. He has a special touch with root over rock's. I think he's a poster here. Robert

That's fantastic, I can't get over how thin that soil level is. How many times a day do you have to water in the heat of summer? Robert

This is some branch and trunk carving on a very old Illex Shilling. It was owned by a gentleman in the Florida Keys. I acquired it and had it for about 12 years ( up in Iowa :eek:) a couple years ago I traded it for some Trident Maples that are more Iowa friendly, and it is now back residing in...

Thanks for taking the time to post these pics. Brian, great pics and greatly appreciated. Robert

I have a couple in pots (not really bonsai) in zone 5 Iowa. I just set them on the ground and mulch over the pots and they seem to do fine. Had them for three winters now, Robert

I use to screen Turface and other components, like chicken grit, but for the last few years I use straight from the bag and water the newly re-potted trees well to flush out the dust. Been working well for me. Robert

Thank you, You have a great site, I've been working my way thru it, really enjoy the video's and informative articles. I'm more of a buyer than a seller (so far). Robert

Thanks much Bill, that's the one I was looking for. Robert

Good day I had a web site book-marked for selling, buying ,trading bonsai and related products. Had a computed problem and lost it. Did searches here and Goggle but cannot find it. Think I originally saw it posted here( on Nut) but not sure. It had tokens that you could buy to pay for...
