I have made two types of soil one is 100% ish crushed lava rock 1/16'th and 1/4 inch I cover the very bottom of pots with fair sized rock (to stop the lava rock from falling out of the pot and nothing more) then fill most of the pot with the 1/4 inch lava rock and top the last 1/2 to 1 inch of...

thanks much I found it immediately after making my second post, and decided to just upload them to face book all together instead of trying to host them here 5 at a time the link is here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10201640414476251.1073741826.1355649646&type=1&l=095fe757d6 i...

Hi, it's been about a year sesne I started growing trees in containers and I was wondering if someone could help me with a photo gallery set up (I searched the site but saw nothing obvious) so that I could maybe get some pointers as to my next step (I'm assuming it's wooden training pots for two...

any thoughts as far as root system growth and potting medium? for this poor things? basically this is what they do when grown inside under florescent light

a willow cutting off of a tree in town I took this spring thats been drowning, I've repotted drowning plants befor in this state and it's saved them lets hope this little bugger recovers. I planted it in some stuff I had recovered from other repots and dead cuttings, thought I had all the peat...

Pine tree pulled out of the ground like a weed in october, grown in partical sun and supplimental florecent light all winter I had this in one of the tiny seedling pots full of dirt when I first planted it noticed it wasn't drying out so I just pulled it out of that pot and planted it in a...

Is there a reason why I shouldn't use 35% peat and 65% 1/8 th inch lava rock for the body of my pots? the lava rock by it'self in a pot with no root system stayed wet for 3 days by itself in nothing but the 1/8th in size in the pot. I added the hydroton to hte mix for two reasons, the plants...

I had spider mites three times, once I used pesticide, the next I found an all natural pray that worked well but left everything sticky and finally I purchased a bag of lady bugs from homedepot and relseased them over three weeks (thats how long they say you can refrigerate them) and I have not...

8 inch fork cutting started in early october this one I just put about 3 inches of rock in the bottom of hte pot hten put top soil from home depot ontop of that and as the sand sunk I added chiken grit and fish tank rock to the top. This plant started with one bud at hte botom that grew about...

boxelder started in late january

number 2 and 3

willow cutting from this spring one group picture then the root system and the plant for one of them Edit: I knocked off half the peat, hten potted it like the rest hydroton half for the bottom, but mixed peat with bigger lava rock about 65% lava and 35% peat, as I have done with the rest of...

on average our plant foods grown in large farms are hit with 30-60 different chemicals, insecticides anti fungal antibacterial fertilizers and weed killers Blue berries are typically hit with 50 different chemicals straw berries where 48 and I forget the rest on the list in the article I'm...

from what I understood from the article is that the grass was not a gmo but a direct hybrid of gmo and naturally existing grass, the part I am worried about is this hybridization. Another aspect of the article I would like to address is who covered it CBS, where the CEO of cbs is married to an...

interesting note about killer bees coh, my father was the one that told me the tid bit about killer bees and who knows how long he held that information it could easily have been changed in his memory. I think they simply enhanced the plants own properties as far as it's need for water and...

would that suck to have to do world wide lmao, another thing I've noticed over the last about 6 years is I have only seen a total of 4 snakes, and roughly 10 turtles, another thing that was abundant on a yearly basis kinda what spurred my whole thought process on ecology. However turtles and...

Granted my thread is anti GM propoganda but it has been shown that the pollen does indeed harm the bee populations, and your right the lower population most likely would be due to cooler weather this spring, but I do find it important to at least question what is being done with our food supply...

the GM wheat was an accidental escape in Oregon from one of monsantos testing areas, wasn't even ready to be released.

I guess the title "General Discussion" was misleading? I am located 2 miles away from 40 acre GM corn farm. The topic I wanted to discuss was the lack or how close to normal the pollinator bugs where this year in different areas, wich would relate to anyone growing flowering or fruiting bonsai...

see we have an average wood tick population and an above average mosquito population this year wich to me seems odd as we've had a particularily dry spring with most water draining off seemingly too fast for the buggers to breed. One more thing to add about GM products, is they are owned and...

This spring I've been looking into the damages done by GM plants and animals, I made one interesting observation this spring.I have only seen 4 butterflies 3 bees 6 dragonflies at a time when these bugs should be abundant on the property. Our yard is surrounded by huge old apple trees wich draws...

I have some pictures of some weeping willow cuttings I grew in peat moss and hydroton that I will load soon, and when I do I will load pictures of my favorite cutting it grew almost 3 feet in 5 months then I started pruning it. hopefully they will make it the full 12 months between dormancy...

that is very true people are the most unruly animal in the kingdom

I will be adding my re potting and further progress to this thread in the future yes.

I still maintain, because of what I believe I read about dormancy in multiple locations across the web it's pheasable. (most sources are sited in the links post of my original thread) and with global warming on the rise and numerous non US sources think that quite possibly within the next 20-50...
