After thinking that we were done with this cancer mess with Caleb, but found out yesterday that it is back in what is left of his left kidney, and now also in both of his lungs, his stomach, and lymph nodes. This is really really really not good. Poor little guy needs prayers more than ever now...

Caleb is out of the hospital and feeling better. He just had a little crud and now he's good

We are not quite out of the woods yet however... Yesterday he developed a fever so we took him to the hospital. He has some kind of viral infection but they are treating him and it is coming down, so hopefully he will be able to come home soon and be done!

As some of you may remember my son Caleb was diagnosed with cancer this year. I am pleased to report that they did a surgery on him at at judes in Memphis and have him 6 more weeks of chemo just in case and now he is done with chemo and cancer free. Thank you all for your prayers.

Would using a terra cottage pot increase overall CEC of a soil?

I bought this big ol tub of tree seal from Lowes the other day. It cost like 5 bucks. Has anyone ever used Morrison's tree seal? I will post a pic later when I can

What is plant city?

I use what I have available here which is not much. The last mix I made was with granite chicken grit, permatill, turface and decomposed pine bark all one part except for the the bark which I use a half part. It drains very well, and in my opinion it holds water for just the right ammount of...

Woah! This thread just blew my mind. It seems that I owe my high school chemestry teacher an apology as I told him at one point that I would never need to know anything that I learned in that class. Well I was wrong haha. So what I'm getting out of this thread is that the best soil mix would be...

In John Naka's bonsai techniques 1 he refers to "sand" quite a lot. When he says that does he mean like fine sand as in play sand or beach sand, or is he talking about coarse sand like fishtank rocks or decomposed granite?

I haven't bought any trees from him but I did buy an excellent pair of 11inch concave cutters from him and everything about that experience was positive

The trunk was very straight on the tree at the arboretum but with the hollowed trunk facing toward you and the curvy scraggly branches give it some movement and distract from the straightness of the trunk.

this tree reminds me a lot of a tree that i saw in a forest planting at the nc arboretum that looks very similar to this one. maybe you could do something along these lines

So... leave it?

Just fertilize till October and keep it nice and healthy

I was referring to my comment previous to that, not yours man.

Hey overall its not a bad looking tree. Not crazy about the downward pointing Jim but other than that considering what you had to work with I think you did an outstanding job.

R hahaha!!!!

Before he started his first rounds of chemo I was worried for him having to go through that but after having undergone 12 weeks of chemo already he has shown almost no side effects from it. After his first round ever he threw up all over us but after that his only side effect was hair loss, and...

Caleb is doing very well with his recovery! We got his tumor biopsy results today and it was favorable! Also they were able to remove all of the tumors successfully during surgery. He will have 12-16 more weeks of chemo just in case. Thank you all so much for your prayers! This is a HUGE relief!

I do have a wood shop that might provide some protection from the cold. Here it doesn't often get below 20f but sometimes it will get into the single digits, and I do have a vegetable garden that I have a few trees planted in and there is some space left.

*this I hate this phone so much for the record. Never ever ever get a UMX phone. There is no way to edit what you previously typed because when you put the cursor on the word it shifts the screen to the side where you can't see anything. Sorry, just bitching...

I'm somewhat concerned about the roots on this one for the winter. I really don't even want to consider repotting it thus time of year but I think I'm gonna have to do something to keep those roots safe. What do y'all recommend?
