Got a few pots from @BrightsideB ! Have been wanting some of his work for a while, really happy I finally pulled the trigger. They all look even better in person than they did in the listing.

There was a small gift pot included as well, but my wife quickly snatched it for herself so it's not pictured here

Thanks for sharing! Glad you are happy with them! Glad your wife snagged up the gift pot!!!

Last Saturday I received a package from Kinbon Japan containing 21 books in total.
I opted for the cheaper shipping by sea option because of the costs and it took about 2.5 months to arrive but I wasn't in a hurry.

At first I was searching for the books about pots and potters but then I found the Kinbon webshop and I couldn't resist ordering the other sets of books as well.
All books are written in Japanese but there are a lot of detailed pictures and drawings and they are a nice addition to my bonsai book collection.

These are the books I ordered for those who are interested:
- 1 set of 10 books about different tree species: https://bonsai.co.jp/products/detail/3629
- 1 set of 3 books about mini bonsai: https://bonsai.co.jp/products/detail/4311
- 1 set of 3 books about pines and shimpaku: https://bonsai.co.jp/products/detail/4312
- 1 set of 3 books about pots: https://bonsai.co.jp/products/detail/3630
- 1 set of 2 books about potters: https://bonsai.co.jp/products/detail/4342

A few years ago, I got tired of using a watering can for my fertilizer and bought a backpack sprayer to apply.

I finally got tired of the 30 minute a week application ritual that became and just bought and installed a dosatron-style fertilizer injector. This one is called a mixrite 571CW.

Excited to start playing around with some pH adjustments and fertilizer concentrates and will report back on progress.

That one is on my to-do list once I set up the new garden. Right now I am using a cheap transfer pump from Amazon. Started last weekend applying the lower dosage of RAW-NPK products. All-in-One Grow, Full-Up, Humic, Kelp, Cal-Mag, Silica, and Phosphorous. I am using a big mop bucket (5L) with wheels to make it easier to roll in the patio, but I have a bigger set up for the garden until I set up the Dosatron using this pump and a larger 10 gal tank.

I was not planning on buying this, but Brent has been out of both for a while and... Shin Deshojo just populated in the 10 @ 10 MrMaple.

I contacted @Housguy and ordered 2 smaller trees.

A twin trunk







And a single with decent movement, should soften up in a few years but a good start.

Got my first shimpaku juniper. When can I start working on this, since I want to keep it Shohin?

Sunday 4th August, Staverton Bonsai Boot sale, at Westbury, Wilts, UK. No intention to buy anything - especially any trees... Couldn't resist although I did walk away from it - only to feel committed to go back

Squirrels have pushed me to violence. I'm in the city so I had to limit it to a pellet gun.
