    That is a lot of trees. You are always busy. Cool cement pots. Laura has some great food for the chickens. Cat good. Catches the night terrors. Don't know about the bandit though. Watch your trees with him.

    It is amazing how quickly the tree total increases. It doesn't help that everytime I walk past a garden centre or nursery I have to pop in and see what is dying in the bargain section - needless to say whatever is there generally finds a new place to live...or die! I keep telling myself that I am selling some but instead I just build more benches. I loved the little bandit at the end - thanks for that Nigel.

    What beautiful pots. I think your ficus would suit that large cement pot very nicely. I live in Australia and as well as growing many traditional bonsai tree species, I am really enjoying growing some of our Australian native species as bonsai. I have only been growing bonsai for a few years, but I am well and truly hooked! I have learned so much from watching your videos Nigel. Thank you.

    My husband doesn't want me to feed our outside critters, but they hang around anyway. We have skunks (the babies play like kittens in our front yard) raccoons (I speak firmly to them when they start fighting up in the trees) ground hogs, possums and some feral cats. Oh and squirrels. My dog Sunshine loves trying to catch anyone hanging out to close to the house. Thank goodness she is portly and slow!

    Wait till those seedlings grow up and go into pots of their own. Nobody's collection is stable. some plants are born, some plants are given away, some arrive as gifts while others are given away. The bunnies eat some and others just die. Life never stands still. It is always moving and changing. Next year's garden is different from this year's.

    But 278 is an unusual number - it might be unlucky in China or Japan. Probably round it up to 280 with a couple more. Then you may as well make it up to 300 😄

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  2 роки тому +1

      It's best to leave the pots out in the rain for a couple of months to help stabilize the ph levels. Some people put them in a small stream to neutralize them. You can use them as is and most trees won't mind, but it's better to wait. You can seal the inside of the pot with paint too.
