    A great job making this pot with character. Nice old style rustic design on it with the use of the basket and the plastic. Now for the tree.

    Thanks for sharing this tip on creating a pot. The good thing about this is each and every pot is different and unique. Makes a change from the mass produced blue bonsai pots that you seem to see everywhere.

    Sam that's very clever. I do a similar thing to make troughs using tufa rock. But mine are nothing as refined as yours. Very impressive.

    watched your session with Peter C - have subbed, pots here in NZ are a fortune so keen to pick up some tips!

      That’s great you found my channel thanks for stopping by and the Sub! Same reasons I started making my own also I like arty one offs :D I maybe out on my geography but if you have it warm over there try make the pots as thick as size and design will allow and experiment with aggregates. The 32c sun cracked a few of my pots. Just something to bare in mind.

    does the concrete effect soil pH?

  • @Tinoshke07
    @Tinoshke07 Год назад +2

    That's a great self made pot Sam ! It might be ignorant of me (I know nothing of making pots) but do you have to add something to the mix of sand and cement to make the pot frost resistant ?

    • @SUPERhodri1
      @SUPERhodri1 Год назад +1

      Concrete should be pretty frost resistant anyway. You can get concrete hardneres which are painted on and absorbed, but they don't necessarily increase frost resistance. What you do need to do though is soak the pot for a week or so afterwards to flush out any chems that my hurt your trees.

      @@SUPERhodri1 Thank you for giving so much info, I've learned a bit more again today :)

    • @nillysbonsai9636
      @nillysbonsai9636  Год назад +1

      Thank you, Not bad for junk and a little time! The frost resistance will naturally be there once the cements chemical reaction has taken place and fully cured off. You get additives to add in if you building in low temperatures ie laying bricks and pouring concrete. What does help is curing your pot off very slowly. After cure and a good clean and sealed up no harm to plants. Garden canters have been selling cement planters for years :)

    are those pots safe for trees?

    • @nillysbonsai9636
      @nillysbonsai9636  Год назад

      Yes I believe so! I have various plants in pots I’ve made no issues! Cement has been fully cured and sealed up. Also garden centres have sold concrete pots for years :)
