    Nice to get some repotting in. Root system looks good and the bigger pot will help to get these off to a good start.

  • @growclipbonsaiforseniors1951

    Good idea to pile the snow around the trailer. That will keep the temperature steady at 32F/0C.

  • @growclipbonsaiforseniors1951

    What about a fan to circulate the air in the trailer to distribute the heat? Just a thought.

      I don't want to run a second extension cord. That's why I'm looking at solar or wind options.

  • @growclipbonsaiforseniors1951

    You might need a back up generator in case the power goes out so that you do not freeze. At least the wood stove gave you some heat.

    • @FrostBiteBonsai
      @FrostBiteBonsai 19 годин тому

      We have a generator that can power the fridges, freezers, or a room heater and aquariums etc. In the main building. Just not the well pump or things that are hard wired to the panel. I have a small generator for camping that could handle the heater for the trees, but it was stored in the camper and I was not able to get to it. I have since taken preventative measures to stop that door from freezing closed. I wasn't super worried. It has been very mild this winter so far.

  • @growclipbonsaiforseniors1951

    We have a temperature this morning of 15F/-9.4C with a windchill of 2F/-16.7C. Definitely an evening cup of tea is in order.

      @FrostBiteBonsai 19 годин тому

      This morning is definitely a tea type of morning here too. -27C/-17F with the windchill, feels like -41C/-42F. It has warmed up to -16C/3F 2pm as I type this. We need some true winter cold. It hasn't stayed cold long enough to kill the hibernating bugs. I haven't been able to go hiking in a couple years. Hopefully this Feb. 2 or 3 weeks of good cold.

I've just been collecting fallen trees. I still have all the poplar that was cut off the front of our property. That smolders nice, but sometimes it over heats. Makes a ton of ash.
