Imperial Masterpiece
Here is the victim - A guava type
soil is -
5 mm silica based gravel
5 mm porous crushed fired earthenware building block
Aged compost [ sifted ]
proportion - 35 /35 / 30 aged compost
position is full sun
foliage lightened and pot removed
close up
an average of 1 inch [ 2.5 cm ] is removed - top to bottom
cut finished
cuts made - bottom part at 1/2 inch [ 1.25 cm ]
Will be resifted and the old compost replaced with new compost [ moistened ]
Inorganic part does not break down
how do you like the home-made rake ?
Often a light raking is done all over to see if a root was missed
This shrub is deeply rooted, so no surface roots.
What you are seeing there will eventually be removed
Back in the pot.
Bright light spot for two weeks.
[ went back to Murata's way ]
Forgot to do a complete tree/ pot
stay tuned 2 weeks later
