JudyB, I went up last year and picked up a pick up truck load. I did 50% small and 50% medium. I have enough to last me a few years now. The stuff is very reasonable if you pick it up yourself. Gib

I have an excel spreadsheet listing all the issues of International Bonsai that I can send you if you PM me. I only need to update it for 2012. Gib

Well I finished my repotting area. A friend gave me the cabinets and the double stainless sink. The right side of the sink is hooked to a drain but the left side was left open with a waste basket underneath to sweep the used soil in. Looking forward to spring and my wife will be glad I am not...

Thanks Bonsai Nut. Great idea with the hole in the table top. Any thoughts on what to use for the surface? Would formica work or how about ceramic tile without grout lines. Gib

I live in zone 5 and I over winter the majority of my trees in a greenhouse kept at around 34 degrees. This causes my trees to come out of dormancy a little earlier than trees kept outside. I normally repot my trees in our kitchen and then put them back in the greenhouse. My wife has become less...

Andrew, Thanks for the information. As I was removing/squashing these white spots there was purple underneath. What is your recommended spray for these? Gib

Thanks for the suggestions. Any thoughts on the webs shown in the first photo? I am going to brush/scrub the infected areas today and spray and see what happens.

I need some help identifying this nest or growth on my azalea. It is sucking all of the energy/life out of this tree and spreading to another azalea I have. Any help in identifying the problem and help with a solution is appreciated. Gib

Bill, Just checked out the 2 indexes. Very helpfull. Now if we could get the next 11 years that would be great! Thanks for the effort you put into producing this great magazine. I refer back to it a lot. Now if I could just find the 1985 #2 my set will be complete. Gib

Does anyone know of an index for all the International Bonsai Magazines? There have been times where I want to know if there is an article on grafting black pines or air layering a maple and it would be nice to look through an index to see if there ia an article about it in this magazine without...

I bought this dawn redwood about 5 years ago and put it in the ground to grow. I want to chop it this year. The base at it's widest point is about 8" in diameter. What would be a good height to chop at this point to allow the new growth to help create taper. I would think the final tree would be...

emk, What quantity do you order. I live in the Akron, OH area and also can not find these materials locally. Any way we could place an order together and possibly save some shipping charges? I would be willing to drive down to Columbus and pick up. Gib
