Sweet! I've been buying American Bonsai tools and i'm pretty happy with them. I'm an intermediate practicioner...slowly working up to really good tools.
Honestly though, Kaneshin prices aren’t much more or at all. I’ve never used American Binssi so I really can’t compare. I’ve been using mostly Joshua Roth and Tiny Roots..it was time for a change.

Got this today from @rodeolthr primarily from seeing them in this thread. Beautiful Shohin Mame JM pre-bonsai. It arrived quickly. & @19Mateo83 was dead on about the packaging, Rodeolthr could've packed a butterfly and it would come out flying. Blue pot in picture is the potential new pot, any thoughts?

Well.. my last Procumbens was Vandalized.. thrown against a wall and pissed on...

So I happened to be perusing the 18 dollar Junis at Walmart... never expecting to be to impressed...

But I stumbled across this BIG UGLY BEAST.... SO much older and mature (Near the base) than any others there..

And for the price... I could NOT resist.896E93C0-5B0B-4B83-BDF1-A591F773BF1A.jpeg7C2D226A-8275-469A-81CA-B36CD345B1DC.jpeg06A10635-24E9-40B4-B5E4-3C8B0BAE6BE6.jpeg

Why on earth would someone do that? :(
I live in between 5 Bars (On THIS block!)

The area for my plants (Before the dilapidated shack next door was recently removed) is in a dark (at night) lil secret corner of the alleyway.. perfect for "Lets go back here and Smoke Meth/ Shoot Fentanyl" before the next bar.
... We used to find needles, crackpipes and burnt foil back there, too.

:(

Yes, actually... The smell overcame me when I was emergency repotting.

...The Vandal needs more iron, in my opinion.. based on the smell!

😂🤢
Went to the toilet directly after my son this morning who hadn’t flushed…my one yell “you need to drink more fluids!”. He is famously bad at staying hydrated but my god the whiff or super concentrated piss this morning could have felled an elephant.
