Good morning/afternoon/evening.
I am fairly new to having to bonsai, and have progressed to having to manage more than a couple bonsai trees (and it is getting worse). As I am an FNG on multiple fronts I have been looking at trying to Stupid Proof myself by creating something (an app?) to help keep me on task. In looking at this I have been researching times of year for this or that, when to do this AND that, and started to think a system that is calendar based would work well. So Species based calendar items showing my "windows" for this work or that. Simple, clear.
However, I then saw some others and they are doing by tagging each tree and tracking when it was repotted and pruned, etc. thereby creating a task based system with season based to Do's. I can see the logic in this approach to the point I may be rethinking my entire project.
So Bonsai folks, experts and FNG's alike, how do you handle your work, do you even track it, and am I crazy over thinking this?
Thank you for your suggestions, ideas, and feedback.
