Sorce,
we water with a Chinese serving sauce stainless steel container, you know the little ones on the restaurant
table with the soy sauce.
Moisten in the evening and add in the morning. The idea is to wet until you get a light drip from the drainage
holes.
Takes roughly 8 buckets at 2.5 gallons. [ 1/3 strength fertiliser - 12 N .....] and about 3 hrs.
Love........................
With the aged compost [ microbes ] we can actually just grow with 5 mm silica based gravel.
The idea is that the microbes [ bacteria etc ] eat oxides, so if the concentration in water is mild, they are
happy.
When too strong, they die, by the millions.As in teaspoonfuls.
I started this topic to help Mike save money.
We do not use Bonsai pots or containers for trunk size , just refinement, unless you are a ficus and then it's
one inch deep pots and branch extensions.
So the mild fertiliser works, dense ramification and leaves of deep green in full sun - since 1980's. What wouldwe be
changing for -------- simple and efficient.
Thanks to all.
Good Day
Anthony
