I liked the different soil coverings used, especially the tiny pebbles(someone even used charcoal). I'm guessing the lines were'nt as atrocious as they looked, because 75 people admitted at a time.

      Hello Eric, I just bought a new microphone today. I was hoping it was the cable, but a new one didn't help. I didn't buy anything at the show, i was busy making the video and just never got time to look at the ones for sale. I don't have much room until the new greenhouse is up!

      @@TheBonsaiZone Hi Nigel. Glad you got yourself a new mic. What did you get? I was thinking of getting a Rhode, like your old one, but perhaps I should avoid it? When will you be building your green house, the one you dismantled? Will you be erecting the entire thing or only part if it? seem to recall a video you made, about the greenhouse, didn't quite understand what you meant.

      I bought a Rode VideoMic Pro plus. It comes with a ten year warranty! I was using it today and I'm really happy with it. It turns on when the camera turns on and turns off with the camera also! It comes with a USB rechargeable battery that lasts 70 hours. The sound is much, better than the previous Rode VideoMic Go. The only drawback is the price, I paid 375 dollars at Henry's. My last mic was 185.
      I'm trying to get the greenhouse under way this week, I'll be building half an arch, so there will be a wall with the door and the arches will arch from the top of the wall towards the ground. I have been collecting the Yew tree from the back yard and I have to pot it up tomorrow, spring is always too busy!

      @@TheBonsaiZone New mic sounds like a good piece of gear! Pricey, but hopefully it's good quality. You and I have expensive hobbies, filming, photography, bonsai, music. These things do tend to get expensive at some point! 100% worth it though. :) Did the old mic work well for a period or was it always a problem, I'm thinking it did see or hear, a lot of action?

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  5 лет назад +1

      Most are for a decorative covering, but many succulent growers that I talked to use a soil similar to bonsai soil, but with a little more organics added.
