13 Sure Fire Ways to Piss Off a Bonsai Nut

All I know is I got a 12 gauge waiting for him if he tries to steal my transplants....

Would 12 gauge wire work?

 

[Stormwater]

It looked like a complete waste of time. Couldn't get through a few paragraphs.

Then the 9 gauge wire would be thinner than the 3mm wire, and not have the same holding strength.

Generally speaking, we use thevegen numbered gauges here, not the odds. I don’t know why.

In Japan, their gauges are different than American gauges. Our 16 gauge is equivalent to their 18 gauge. (Or vice versa. I don’t know which). Go figure!

Its because the difference in size would be too minimal from a #12 to a #11 when it comes to the ampacity rating of wire. And we actually do use “some” odds but only #3 and #1 (and those are rarely used as it is but they do exist) in industrial/commercial electrical construction.

Didnt know that about Japanese sizing though, interesting!

I've seen a few trees here that could benefit from a 12 gauge pump.....

I read the whole thing, it does sound like my friends describing me.
Good thing I don't take myself too seriously. I do call most of my trees ''sticks in pots''.
