An hour for morning watchies! Beauty! Great teensy trees from a great guy, with a great haircut. Love your videos, they are very inspirational and educational for a starting bonsai hobbyist. Also I love how you are rambling about all and everything you care, while doing bonsai work (specially grumbling about the crazy landmower neighbour). Cheers from Finland :)
Sooo beautiful! Ive been watching your Channel just a few weeks, and it’s amazing to see how developed the trees you’ve been pruning have grown. Truly , your trees are amazing art .
I think it was about 2 years ago i found your channel for the first time. Now I am a bonsai enthusiasts! Thank you! Cant wait to send in some viewers pics
What an enjoyable video! You sure did a lot of prep work to ready your trees for the show. I'll bet that you and your fellow bonsai enthusiasts will put on a great display of your trees. Best wishes for a good show!
Since it is an undeveloped planting, I think it’s fortuitous that the light colored pot and sand of the ‘gollem’ Jade forest visually highlights the fresh green foliage, thus presenting a different look than the vast majority of Bonsai, which are designed to emphasize structural elements.
A very good way of looking at the Jades! It certainly does make the leaves stand out with a sort of mono coloured pot and soil. People did like it at the show!
I really love watching ur videos and so inspired by them that I also started working on bonsais. A great hobby wid a lots of patience to get a good results. M a big fan of yours Nigel ... from India ...
I so agree with you about giving space to wildlife and maintaining our landscapes in an earth friendly (and noise friendly) way. I always enjoy your programs, so thanks so much for sharing. I’ve been curious about how your English oaks are doing? Have a wonderful and more peaceful and noise free ( of neighbors mowers) week!
The house I’ve lived in all my life (I’m still young) has always had lots of squirrels and birds in the backyard it’s nice to always have them around especially when a bird couple decides to raise their babies here
You're the embodiment of what would happen to me if I had the space :). I only have a little balcony on which to garden, but I just can't stop myself from taking on more and more projects, so every inch of space has some type of plant/bonsai on it. Now that I literally have no more space outside, I am buying LED lights to put plants in my bedroom. All I want in life is a garden as big as yours 😭
First of all thank you for taking the time to film everything while you get ready for the show. I have found when I put sand on the soil (same mix as yours) that it makes the soil stay too wet. Have you noticed that to be the case where you are. Have you found you have to water less on the ones with sand on the soil. I know you could never have time to replay to all the comments, but thanks for everything.
Did I see a bald cypress in your garden?!?! If so, I would love to see and hear more about that! I collected a handful of seedlings last year for some interesting material.
Your bonsai are amazing. I am growing my own and they are nothing close to what you have. How do i send in viewer photos to show you some of my bonsai?
hey nigel I have recently bought a soil Seive and have got some rocky/gravel type soil its all the one materials but its well draining and it holds enough moisture for a fairely good amount of time but the thing is it dosent seem to hold my trees in place well enough. i have young larch trees and im new to training them. i dont feel as if the trees are getting enough nutrients from the soil. as it is baisically small stones.. how can i improve my soil. i saw you use Perlite. how about vermiculite
Hello Hunter, you may need to place some stones on top of the soil until the root system gets established. A good flat radial root system will help anchor your tree and make it stable. I rely on fertilizer to provide the tree with the elements it needs for strong growth. Here is a video on that.... ruclips.net/video/gXIIpxUqxdY/видео.html Vermiculite can work, lava rock, coconut husks etc.
@@TheBonsaiZone thank you for your knowledge sire. will definetly look into getting some coconut husk for it aswell. in the meantime i have some liquid fertiliser will that do the job ?
Hi I'm new to your channel and don't do bonsai... Jet 😅 ,,, But I do have some plants Adenium and others... I have a few varieties of jade plants, one really big, and after 15 years we had it over the winter on our balcony, no freezing temperaturs but colder, and it started to bloom!!! I would be interested to see your Jade plants what varieties you have. Greetings from Sweden 👍🇸🇪
Dear Nigel, As always Thanks for your bonsai instructions. I learn a lot from them. But in planting the peachtree; there were some big mistakes made. As a tree officer I have these comments: Woodchips are never used inside a planthole! Why not: they are going to rot and use the O2 the treeroots need to live. In your wet clay soil you can use wellrotted compost ore soil like that the tree has been grown in. Also raking out and breaking the very fine Roots is a no-no. This young tree showed no thick roots at all, so don't mess with it and destroy a lot off roots. Only the planthight with the graftombe above the groundlevel is very good. If you want to have less weeds you can use a layer off woodchips on top of the soil. But no more than 3-5 centimeter (1-2 inch).
Michael Freshwater , I hear they are, need to be mindful of where you plant it my friend had a nice one , until his mom's bf got hack happy , and cut off all the branches. But in town this guy has a beauty loaded with peaches, I'm in b.c
Yes, the soil was quite good in that section of the field, but it varies a lot depending on the location. We hope the tree will make it through the winter all alone in the field!
Wow! Your garden looks fantastic! I tell you what though, first thing I thought when I saw your hair was bloody hell you could do with a pruning yourself!
Thank you Dubsy, I had a fellow from England over for a few days making a video, he knows who you are very well. You are a celebrity in the bonsai world and the Foist Zone!
Hey there! Just starting out with bonsai, I was wondering if you had a video that goes further in depth with directional pruning? Any help would be great! Love all the videos and help
Hey Nigel! Thanks to your channel I bought a starter kit for growing bonsai and my seeds (ficus religiosa and chinese elm) have begun to sprout. My question is when should I repot them to new homes and should I repot them in bonsai soil or a different type of soil? Anywho hope you have a good time at the show and hopefully you show us some footage! Cheers!
I'm entirely with you on the uselessness of a lawn. I once hypothesized the importance importance of a lawn is a matter of culture where 150 years ago it served a purpose since if you could grow grass you could feed your animals. The more grass the more you could feed and the wealthier you were. Now it seems as useless as a neck tie.
Lawns in the UK were definitely started as a show of wealth. Having grass that wasn’t used to feed animals was a big show of wealth. It was kept as an extravagant show of wastefulness.
Finally had to turn the volume really low 😂that lawnmower is driving me nuts too, worst thing ever about spring and summer,well only when someone else is doing their lawn 😂never bothers me when mowing my own lawn.
Weird, I have an IDENTICAL Jade Bonsai to yours at 6:45 on the left. It's the same size and has nearly the same pot as yours. The only difference is the rock in my pot is dark grey and smooth.
I don't talk a lot about soil for pines. I am using just my normal soil, 1/2 perlite and 1/2 turface and then fertilizing with every watering. I do like to add pine bark to the bonsai soil if I have some, but it is hard to find in my city. I try and add about 20 percent to the mix.
The woodchips will likely cause a nitrogen slump for a few years until they decompose. I would have added a slow working fert like bonemeal to feed the microbes that will rob nitrogen from the tree..
The wood chips were already starting to decompose, so we add them as some organic material and to aerate the soil for good drainage. It's sort of a custom soil mix using anything that we have available.
hey Nigel, that obviously is moss that is tolerant to the sun right? will it grow in the pot eventually? it’s tough to find a good sun dwelling moss patch
That's a tough one, but I think a Schefflera, they get aerial roots more easily, they have a nice compound leaf that looks very tropical and they can look really good in the banyan style! The Ficus microcarpa is just as good, but I'd stay away from the Ficus benjamina's. They are tougher to grow as bonsai.
I haven't had any problems with squirrels since the fence went up. It seems they don't like my area because there is no easy escape route for them. I still do get birds that pick away at the moss, but this can usually be repaired!
we can't have wood chips as they're a fire risk, and we can't let the yard run a bit wild as it creates homes for snakes. I don't know how we could replace our lawn with something better, but it certainly is food for thought, and we do find it hard to keep up with the mowing..
West Nile just started to come North about 2 years ago. I have already had it. It knocked me down for about a year. I actually thought I might die as I got so weak, it even hurt to lay down. I dreaded sleeping at night, it hurt so much. Slowly after a ton of tests and time, I began to get better and the doctor's best guess is that I had West Nile virus. There have been very few cases in this area, but it does exist here. It was a good wake up call, and I have been working really hard to stay strong and healthy ever since!
@@codymiller8505 thanks for your help. I've just googled 'Turface' but I still can't get it where I live. I've been using a 50/50 mix of perlite with garden compost. It works well but I'm keen to experiment with other soil types.
I guess compared to a forest, a lawn isn't very eco-friendly, but compared to wood chips or concrete, I think it is. That neighbor's lawn that takes 3+ hours to mow doesn't sound very nice though. Seems just like an big empty field without any trees...
I thought that tree you called a Canadian red pine was a Scots pine - or is it just a local name for pynus sylvestris? Edit: Sorry didn’t realise the explanation later on, very nice tree
Mr. Nigel, I need help. I rescued a tree, a small one from my uncles yard where he pretty every week chopped him with grass cutter and since he was pissed always that it sits there and he didn't wanted, I came with some tools, bag and took it out. 3 Months later, the tree was growing but in the past 1 month had gnats (I think they are called).. It's been full with gnats and it's the 3rd one from my small trees and since he was attacked all the way to the base, I had to chop some of his roots. Leafs fell down 3 weeks ago and has a new pot, new dirt rich in whatever it needs to grow but it seems to be stuck in time. What should I do? Any advice?? Anyone?? Please..???
I really love your channel man! But I gotta say, your old video work seemed more crisp and clearer. The color grading was better too! I hope you like constructive criticism:)
The tree is a bit of a different style and I'm hoping to just continue to develop it as a solo tree. The Larch trees in the forest are just starting to get some cracking on the bark now after almost twenty years!

Me too, you never know!
Maybe your neighbour is the RUclips channel "projectfarm" he tests out different fuels and oils on lawnmowers for hours at a time 😂😂😂
This lawn mowing went on for about three hours, they may not be testing fuel, but it certainly tested my patience!
I always notice they are constantly mowing over there too. Can’t believe the grass has time to grow between cuts.

Do you typically just add the moss before shows and then remove later on ? I would assume it would be removed before "wintering" trees>

Nigel, I rescued a 5' Ponderosa Pine. So, I will need to watch your playlist for pines and soil.
I don't talk a lot about soil for pines. I am using just my normal soil, 1/2 perlite and 1/2 turface and then fertilizing with every watering. I do like to add pine bark to the bonsai soil if I have some, but it is hard to find in my city. I try and add about 20 percent to the mix.

Please show us your small pines and spruce pre-bonsai seedlings. Thanks.
OK!
Very Nice Bonsai
hey Nigel, that obviously is moss that is tolerant to the sun right? will it grow in the pot eventually? it’s tough to find a good sun dwelling moss patch
Yes, it's hard to find sun moss that is not too thick, if you find the right spot, keep it a secret!
If you had the choice to choose just one indoor bonsai which would you choose a shefflera or ficus
That's a tough one, but I think a Schefflera, they get aerial roots more easily, they have a nice compound leaf that looks very tropical and they can look really good in the banyan style! The Ficus microcarpa is just as good, but I'd stay away from the Ficus benjamina's. They are tougher to grow as bonsai.
those monks are unbelievably realistic. I'm hoping I find a mini Sasquatch

Turface. Idk if the spelling will help you or not. I'm not sure about alternatives. Small volcanic rock, perhaps?
@@codymiller8505 thanks for your help. I've just googled 'Turface' but I still can't get it where I live. I've been using a 50/50 mix of perlite with garden compost. It works well but I'm keen to experiment with other soil types.
@@njw1383 what soil characteristics are you looking to gain?
enjoy the show , have fun , trees look great
How do you get the wood look on this planet
I guess compared to a forest, a lawn isn't very eco-friendly, but compared to wood chips or concrete, I think it is. That neighbor's lawn that takes 3+ hours to mow doesn't sound very nice though. Seems just like an big empty field without any trees...

Yes, I have seen it used with great effect on bonsai at shows!

It is still growing very slowly, i may have to modify the experiment to get the tree to grow better!
I thought that tree you called a Canadian red pine was a Scots pine - or is it just a local name for pynus sylvestris? Edit: Sorry didn’t realise the explanation later on, very nice tree
Thanks, two out of three people believe it is a red pine, but it is possible it is a variety of a Scots pine still. Very confusing!
