    I want to do a little experiment with fish and bonsais and I want to show you

    I like the thought of doing an aquaponic system. But I agree with the others, that the plant really needs to able to handle sitting in water like that. If the conditions are right and you get the correct balance of plant to fish you shouldn't have too much algae growth.

    $35 Bonsai Bench Project

    Hey, as long as there is a plan, and that's not a bad plan as a way to kill the grass in the area.

    $35 Bonsai Bench Project

    Simple, nice. I would only be worried about the toll on the plywood base.

    I am guessing those roots are much happier now.

    Olive tree

    I don't really have any experience at this point. But I can see that the soil you have going there is very caked and hard. I can't provide a ton of advice. However based on those questions it seems you need to really get in some YouTube video investigations and learning. I am still doing the...

    The new pond for my trees.

    That pond is coming along nicely. I really don't have much to add to the direction of the pond. I do appreciate a nice pond though. Especially when you find and trade for materials.

    Really nice tree, I think after that cut heals and it grows in it will be an absolutely stunning tree.

    Little Pepper Bonsai (Bonchi)

    Yeah, I want at least one to be a bonchi so I think I will start working on one of them in that way, and let the others get me a nice yield of peppers at the end of the season. I have to transport them to the new house this week.

    Olive Clump

    I am always amazed at the vitality and will to live with these trees. They just want to keep on growing. It gives me hope when I get my first tree going. Still doing my research and I am on serious budget constraints. This forum is awesome to troll and see the progress of various trees.

    Bonsai flicks

    I have been trying to find as many as I can on youtube. I really enjoy watching Graham Potter, though I feel even his "basics" are quite advanced. I have also recently found and enjoy Nigel Saunders, I see him referred to often here, his passion is great and he really seems to have no fear. The...

    Jade Forest

    I like how the blue stone gives the impression of a running river with the little island in the middle. As for spacing, I think once they start growing it won't be too much of an issue, but that is what re-potting can always adjust if you don't like it.

    Help needed with Eu. Olive styling

    Wow, that is one seriously wonderful tree you have there. I like the wild look to it. The transformation from where it started is really great. When I look at it I see an image of the painting of Jesus praying in Gesthsemane. Not to bring religion into this, just an image I see in my mind from...

    My next raintree

    Fantastic looking tree. Was all that calcium hard water from a previous owners water supply? It's amazing how the tree looks so much brighter and livelier after the cleanup.

    Little Pepper Bonsai (Bonchi)

    I have started these exact same peppers this spring. I have ten seedlings that are doing well and I have recently topped 5 of them and pruned back the larger leaves off a couple more to see how they grow. Mostly I went with this specific plant because it makes a nice indoor plant, and second to...

    Olive tree

    While I am new and just researching where I am at. My advice is to let it grow at this point and see where the new branches take you. I love how well it has grown back. I look forward to future updates.
