I think I'm nuts...... my ghetto garden

aml1014 · Jun 4, 2016

Well since everybody has been posting their set ups, I figured I'd post up my own garden pics.

So here it is, my ghetto garden set up.
Keep in mind, none of my setup is permanent since I'm renting my house and am saving to buy one within the next couple years.

I'm goin to start selling start plants in the near future so my collection of plants will thin out a lot.

Here's the rest

Lots of my plants are just growing out, but I love them all.

Looks great! An oasis in the ghetto.. You have as many or more plants than I do. But give me time. Ive only been doing it a year or so. You might want to build a house so you have places for plants and trees. Lookin' good!

Quite the menagerie, stop now before it gets out of hand! Oh, too late, probably should have posted a year or so ago, might have given you a heads up on bonsai math, you know how they divide and multiply and then you add in another.
I had about 500 at a rental property and when I had to move I had to leave a lot behind, agonizing agony over who stays and who gets to go. A recent count showed 190 containers, which I am now moving to our permanent site. Jeeze! I know all about madness! Carry on lol

I didn't want to say that, but lololol, it's a lot like love, you do what you know you shouldn't, and above all, we do love our trees.

I think you have some excellent starting material there and easily mobile for when you do move. Nice variety. It looks like you have at least one of everything, tropical, conifer and deciduous.

Dude don't ever dis a collection that size.
You have some major cool things going on
and coming along. Good luck with keeping up
in all this crazy weather.
My bonsai benches are shipping pallets joined
up into "cubes". Sunny tops and semi shady-
variable sun exposure insides. So lets not throw
around ghetto setup too freely.
I choose to look at it as "economizing for the sake
of plant/pot shopping".

It really is fun to keep up in summer.
In the morning I water all of my trees, then I go to work and water around 15000 trees shrubs and annuals then I go to lunch and water all my trees again eat some lunch then it's back to work to water everything again lol THEN I finally get to come home and do some work on what needs it.

Plants literally are just about my whole life, besides my fiance which totally supports my addiction.

Oh, and just to add to my ghetto garden we are finally getting into the high 90s with very low humidity, sooooo it's shade net time!

Aaron

P.S. this is about the only time my unworthy trees can be seen in pics lol

Vin · Jun 4, 2016

Some cool material in your garden. I especially like the maple in the last photo of post #2.

But they do make some good robots nowadays!

A robot might actually be nice!
