    This one is mine, had to build a box for it as the pot came smashed but so far so good.

    Any Aquarium Owners?

    Finally cycled, that took a while. Done a big water change and got the Gh down to 16-17 so that is way better. Going to put some fish in soon, only a handful of Platy's and Praecox Rainbows just to start with. Can always get more later. Plus some snails and maybe a couple of shrimp as they are a...

    Is this soil mix okay?

    In the UK you need to get either the Tesco Low Dust Kitty litter or Sanicat Pink(think it has been recently rebranded). That is the Danish molar clay which is a type of diatomaceous earth. The attapulgite is not the best but probably ok for a seasons use before it breaks down. I use the Sanicat...

    Pretty much, send meat. Shut up and take my money. I just looked at the receipt from when I ordered, turns out I ordered 13lbs of ribs. They ripped me off 🤣 they do send an updated receipt with what they actually send though so they didn't really. Honestly just looked at the pics and figured...

    Big trees that make you say, "It's like a giant bonsai"

    Here is another historical big Red Gum. Apparently the 23rd largest 'measured trunk' in Oz. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cazneaux_Tree To me this is a perfect tree, it has everything. Perfect form, great base/roots, taper. Deadwood hollow and well as dead branching. Shape is incredible and the...

    What’s your latest Bonsai related purchase?

    So totally didn´t plan on this but a website we ordered an outside table and brolly from also had some Mistral malsai on their site listed. Most of it is rubbish and of little interest to me but they had these Ash prebonsai which was different so I chucked one in the basket. It´s healthy at...

    You know how some things just don't translate?

    It´s all about the "Seat Women" but "I like doctors" runs a close second.

    This is the tea house isn't it? What's your favorite tea?

    I don´t like tea but am listening to a segment on radio about Yaupon tea made from the Yuapon Holly. Apparantly it is a really good tea made by the Native American peoples and is full of caffeine. So there is that.

    The "least appreciated species for bonsai" thread

    Eucalyptus without a doubt. Given how common and widespread they are globally they are almost the definition of least appreciated. With around 900 different species to pick from some are better than others but many respond well. They are fast growers and adapt to almost all climates apart from...

    Best white-bark species for forests

    This may be a point, Betula pendula is a European birch and it's range is quite vast across the continent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betula_pendula#/media/File:Betula_pendula_range.svg It certainly exists in much warmer climates than have been mentioned. I mean there are a bunch not far...

    Covid frustration thread

    It's a mess here as well, as it stands I have no idea when we'd even be offered it. We are on private insurance and as the government are dishing it out for free the insurances has washed it's hands of all responsibility. Supposedly we should temporarily register on the public system which is a...

    Nigel saunders bonsai zone [unpopular opinion]

    No that one is pretty simple. Not all beer and skittles so it may help to pass the dutchie to the left hand side.
