    Another flame... sorry, fertiliser thread.

    I recently read Walter Pall's blog post about substrate, watering and fertilising and he claims to be using the same amount and type for all his trees. In that case, you really don´t need to do a lot of different mixes, although I can see your point about the amount of work. My parents'...

    Another flame... sorry, fertiliser thread.

    So, I was reading up on fertilising the other day and I realised that there is a big discrepancy between the practices of bonsai artists and people professionally working with plants in pots, especially in greenhouse environments. The general recommendation for plants in greenhouses seem to be...

    Fun Bonsai!!! :)

    Wow! Those things always inspire me - I seem to have a thing for landscape plantings. I might be one of those who encourage that new category at shows in the future... ;)

    Huge ash stump

    Yes, I think I´ll convince him to let it sit over the winter for me and then I´ll dig it up in, say, April?

    Another newbie with questions

    Thank you for your answers! I know the elms were collected at the wrong time but it was pot them or bin them at that point (they were in the way of the new patio) so I took a shot and hoped they would take to the pots - and, so far at least, they´re alive albeit maybe not at the best of health.

    Another newbie with questions

    Hi! I´m from southern Sweden and all new to this hobby. I´ve thought about starting up something from time to time over the last ten years, bought myself something twiggy in a nice pot, killed it and then moved on but this time I´ve actually read and read and read basically everything that...
