People who know me in real life and here on the forum know that I am correct only about all the time. I don't want to sound like a know it all, but when I reply to anything I make sure I know what I'm talking about, or I'm asking a question to learn!
@M. Frary is indeed a jerk, so am I. He wasn't stepping on your posts or belittling you in anyway, like I said before, he was only posting HIS experience, and asking some questions along the way.
Your procedure for collecting trees is different, that's okay, I'm all for it. I like to experiment myself with doing things a bit different.
You've given great information on this forum in multiple threads and I'd like to continue learning from your posts! But you do have to get over thinking people are talking down to you, they may or may not be, but when questions are asked from any party, it's to learn, right?
Happy bonsai!
