Repotting Setup

[Paradox]

I use a cement mixing tub either right on top of my benches or I also have this bench to use if the trees have been moved out of the coldframe and are occupying the benches

I didn't bother cleaning up for the picture.... on the left you can see a hole in the metal. There's a trashcan under it, I just slide the mess in there after. Just make sure to build it taller than a standard counter height

This is exactly the same as what I have. I use it mainly for repotting. It's only $10 on amazon and very handy. It holds all the old soil and pruned roots. Then I just unsnap one corner and can neatly pour into the waste pile.

Same.

I've been using a bald cypress pot.

 

[The Barber]

I use one of these.

Same.

I'm definitely getting one.

They're pretty nice, tough material. Mine are orange.

Very nice. Tidy! Stylish. Bad ass.

I see yards this big and I'd have 6,000 bonsai - not just the 600 I have today!

I only saw green ones. It would be better if they had purple but I'm still getting one. I think my husband will appreciate it, I make quite the mess of the patio when repotting.

Mine is very low frills, but it was all recycled materials! I found the turntable top on the side of the road, barely functional. Stripped it down, cleaned and lubricated the bearings, and it’s really functional. The base was a coffee table that I originally got for almost nothing, but then it broke, and I never got around to repairing it for regular use, so now it’s my repotting turntable.
This is my first season repotting in a garage, which will be much welcome when it gets wet! I’ll probably add a tarp for bigger trees, but the only vehicle I park in here is a bike and canoe, so I can get a bit messy.

Yeah, not in THAT snow you haven't!

Tokonoma training pot though!

I don't have a photo. But I use a drafting table that folds out of the way when not in use in my greenhouse. Behind that I slip a heavy plastic tray that is meant for preschoolers to do crafts in when in storage. It keeps the medium from hitting the floor. I then use a small tray to hold my tools. As I threw away a stainless steel pair of wire cutters in a repot with old medium. So tools set into a tray kept from old medium in the plastic tray. It all sits on my drafting table. Sometimes I'll take the craft tray into my dining room table and still grab my small tray to hold tools.

My weekend project confirmed

 

[Nybonsai12]

My set up is pretty advanced. It's a table and a garbage bin. Mostly on my deck, sometimes in my garage and even in my dining room on a few occasions.

We don't typically get snow. Every 165 years or so.

So you just didn't know it was snow!
