    Japanese Black Pine

    Hi All! I have a japanese black pine that I have planted in the ground in San Diego now nearing the end of fall. I'm hoping to keep it in the ground as niwaki. I was trying to create some curves, but the main trunk may be a little too thick. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to lop...

    Ground Growing... from a distance?

    Hey all, I've just recently found out my mother has inherited a small field down the country by my grandmother's house (2 hour drive away).

    Show me your grow out beds!

    The long night is upon us. I retire to my keep to plan landscaping modifications to support my future ground growing plans... Luckily, Mr. Motion doesn't really care how the yard looks. Sadly, I do...I'm looking to be inspired/educated by seeing how folks with gardens of various sizes integrate...
