    Repti Bark is always good stuff. Your Auction Ficus should fetch a nice sum of money for the club. Your Serissa is doing fantastic also. Mixing your soil outside is the best. All that dust and the wind takes it away for you. Another fantastic video.

    I love fresh bonsai soil. I’m going to mix up the rest of mine for the winter. Then I don’t have to worry about it, and it gets the bags off my porch. I think I’ll pick up a bag of Repti bark to.👍😁 as always, thanks for the inspiration Nigel.

    The auction tree has a nice thick trunk. I really like the serissa tree. It has a beautiful canopy. Here in the tropics I have to add quite a bit of coco peat and brick chips in my soil mix for water retention. The summers can be very harsh here. Thanks for the video.

    From what I've read, bark can help keep roots warmer during winter, gives space for breathe and being slightly acidic can help balance the soil if your water is hard (alkaline).

    Dear Nigel, thanks for the nice video ! Seeing you misting with a manual action spray I must suggest you buy one of the pressure spray, they are a game changer ! So convenient and you can find some quite cheap. You simply pump it with compressed air once a week and then every time you need to mist your trees they release very thin and uniform water particles ! Try it you'll see the difference ! Cheers !

    Hey Nigel, Drew here from lockport NY a half hour north of buffalo. Having winters similar to yours I would suggest a clear 6mil plastic to cover your greenhouses as opposed to the insulated tarps that you have been using. Sunlight travels through two 6mil thick layers of clear plastic, the greenhouse plastic and an interior layer of bubble wrap(perfect interior insulation) all winter long. The layer of clear plastic is mainly to create a distance between the snow pile up and the greenhouse walls, it also stops the wind bringing the heat way up inside. A clear roll of plastic should range between 50 and 150 dollars for the dimensions of your glass greenhouse! Long time fan of your channel, Nigel thank you so much for your hardwork and dedication!

    Well Fall chores. For bark I also use orchid seedling bark. Some of it is still a bit chunky but mostly its great. I use an outdoor misting to water all my bonsai through the warm months. Depending on the tree, such as maples, I add about 25% bark. And for the spruce and pine etc I only use 5-10%. This way all my trees get the same amount of water but their soil has varying retention levels.
    Yes I could use rain water but our neighborhood is on a well system and no chlorine or fluoride is ever added. :)

  • @jeremyowen1
    @jeremyowen1 2 роки тому

    I've read recently that bark isn't great to use in soils because it locks up nitrogen robbing the plant.
    The bark is a slow decomposer and requires a lot of nitrogen for that decomposition process. As well as during decomposition, the bark will off-gas things that can be toxic to plants.
    I need to look into it more though. From the few papers I read, it seems as though it's only bad if it isn't composted before being added. I'd presume that's why some people such as Peter Chan use composted pine bark in their bonsai soils. I'm currently experimenting with a small amount of coconut coir for a bit of extra water retention. It's basically inert though. And can actually be harmful if it isn't rinsed well of all the salts and then buffered with calcium/magnesium. Otherwise the coco coir essentially robs nutrients from the plants.
    Regardless, your trees look fantastic and are certainly healthy. So you're doing something right. I just like always improving and trying out new things to see what happens. Just because something works doesn't mean it can't be better!

      I use a kitchen sifter, one that you would use for flour or whatever. Also, at a garage sale, I found this round bucket that possibly came from a deep fryer? The kitchen sifter has very small holes, so it really only gets rid of the fine dust. The deep fryer bucket has slightly bigger holes, so it "wastes" more product. They seem to do well enough. I think the main goal is to get rid as much of that fine dust as possible. I made this contraption to do' large batches of soil. ua-cam.com/video/4VZQ3KA4AAA/v-deo.html

    Hi Nigel, I tried your bonsai soil recipe and found a couple of issues with it... a) too much dust b) seems to break down too fast, and c) it's just too light and doesn't hold down the trees as well as a heavier material. Is there a reason you don't use lava rock and screening material in your recipe? Both the lava rock and screening materials are available from the big box stores in your area and are cheaper than the original ingredients in your recipe. Matt

      Hello Matt, I have heard from other people that the SafetySorb breaks down. I haven't found this, but it's possible that the product has changed? My SafetySorb lasts for a decade at least. The ingredients for my soil are what I can find locally in my city. I'm sure there are equal or better products to use. I haven't seen Lava rock that is affordable, but I'll keep my eyes open. You have to be careful changing your soil as it can lead to different watering requirements. I like the particle size of the SafetySorb, I find most of the Lava rock to be a bit large for smaller trees. Thanks, good to know your take on the soil!!!
