Looking forward to making the next meeting! That is just top dressing. The tree is planted in "Boon's Mix" soil.

Formulation: 24-8-16 Isn't this bad? Pretty much everything I've ever read says that a balanced fertilizer should be used.

Thanks for your previous comment as well. I'm still a bonsai newb and general gardening idiot. Thus far, my limited knowledge has been gathered from reading and not experience. This particular fertilizer was recommended by a couple online sources, so I gave it a whirl. Mostly, and this is...

I've been using the Fujiyama Combo from Dallas Bonsai. This is a 5:10:5 liquid fertilizer and root stimulant (used every 2 weeks) and so far it has been working well.

Just so I am clear on your point...It is perfectly acceptable for the many people in this thread to criticize and bash this product when none of them have used/seen/held it in person? Yet my credibility gets called into question when I rise up to defend it? Sorry...foul ball. The only fact...

I don't know, why would you? I'm not really sure why you're attempting making a point of this at all. New products generally aren't marketed towards people who already own an equivalent. If you're asking my why you should buy an Ichiban, I don't have a reply for you. Full disclosure? My...

Ah, dear Victrinia...just the person I was hoping for a reply from. :) My initial response in the other thread was about the NBW marketing campaign specifically, not the tool itself. I have come 180 degrees on how I feel about the pricing of the tool, however. I'm no different than anyone...

Yup, you're right...fixed. Damn decimal point.

Right. It makes perfect sense that I now have a job after making one post on an internet forum. I suppose I was also involved with the fake moon landing conspiracy and was the 2nd gunman on the grassy knoll. You guys need to get out more. :rolleyes: rockm brings up a few good points...

This thread makes me LOL. :rolleyes: First and foremost, $350 is not a lot of money by anyone's standards in the United States. No one reading these forums is impoverished. The main objection about price is incorrect, it is about value, which is subject to individual interpretation. The...

It's called "gratuity" for a reason. Tips are not required, nor are they considered part of normal wages. Most service industries can be very lucrative (valet parking, limo drivers, etc). So much so that competing businesses are often required to bid or provide concessions to the host...

The dispute is not about price, it's about value. There is a difference.

Anyone who works in a service-related industry (which is a major portion of most economies) is subject to receiving tips. We most commonly associate this with restaurant wait staff because they are the most visible, where it is customary to the point of being almost required to leave a 10% or...

I'm actually a bit disappointed. He was just in Cincinnati, and had I known sooner, I would've made plans to go down there and check it out.
