I have been busy repotting; I have been listening to your podcasts as I have been working. well, I was trying to remove a useless root (listening to one about making decisions,) should have used a sharper tool. (that too was another podcast I have listen to lately about sharpening) Jammed the finger it is still hurting 3 hours later. as soon as I did it was only yesterday, I listen to pain and injuries and laughed at some of the things you mention

Hi Scott whats the proper name of your work table jack and where can i purchase one? Thank you

Thanks for another great episode, can wait to start pruning 😄

Love the podcast! Which bits are you using with your die grinder? I was looking at the "terrier" bits from the UK. Not cheap but kick back with those bits seems to be minimal. Cheers.

Great stuff as always. Thank you for the great information.

Informative video thankyou

Just wanted to say big fan love the podcast listen to it daily and often back to the start for all the sage advice you give us..I know you don’t post many videos but its always a nice bonus when you do..( came to see the 4 way tie in)..keep it going as we need you in the bonsai world..lots of bonsai love from the UK (also how do you get your sphagnum moss that fine?, in a blender?, I spend ages chopping it up with scissors or a knife! 😅

😍👍

Great information, thanks again

If I remember correctly. Needle plucking is only done when you have the final basic branch structure you want? Not counting the outer, younger small branches at the end of each branch.

I absolutely love these podcasts and get so much out of it.. l sometimes don't have time to watch a screen so listening in is perfect. Thx again

I really need to get better at wiring trees in. I keep snapping the wire when tightening it though.

Good morning Scott love your contribution to Bonsi in general. From your videos to your Podcasts thank you for that One question your bike Stand how high does it go? And what brand is it I’m interested in getting one

Hi, have you ever used Zeolite in your soil mix? It has a high CEC value but doesn't break down like Akadama.

Must say l like watching raking and trimming a try as l find it therapeutic.. looks terrific... thanks

Thanks Scott. Really enjoy your videos. Sensational tree.

Also nice to see I'm not the only one with an old toothbrush in the bonsai toolbox!

We are in the opposite season as you here in the US. But really enjoyed this video and seeing some of your repotting work. Thanks for sharing! - Choten-en Bonsai

Great tree, clear video, and that's a really lovely blue pot!

What state are you in mate? Looks like some fresh root tips. Tree starting to wake up already?? Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful tree Scott, Great video, thoroughly enjoyed it !

Great video thanks. So you don’t use any Akadama in your mix at all.

Another great video, thank you! I have a massive European Hornbeam, it's a very old tree with a massive nabari, it's probably a bit too heavy for me at my age, but I couldn't resist not buying it :-)

Great transformation, I think that you should reduce that large jin, just by opinion. Have a very similar procumbens in a large grow box for past 5 years and will be looking to start styling this year. Thanks for the inspiration! And I have to add that that’s an extremely healthy looking plant. Well done!

Wow, beautiful tree. You took off a lot more of the rootball than I expected! Thank you, Scott!

Awesome episode! Question for you. When talking about soil, would you use the same mix for a tree that’s in development or change it to something that’s more organic and not so porous? I feel like the soil mix you mentioned would be better for a tree that’s already developed and in its refinement stage. I’m trying to focus on growth, longer roots, root thickening and trunk thickening.

Hey Scott. I was the one who asked about the White Pine that was used as the demonstration. My aim was to understand the history of the tree as that information is very attractive to me. I agree with the translator on age but that was just 1 part of my question. I did get the history from the original owner and it made that tree so much more attractive to me. Thanks for your podcast!

I went out and repotted a maple while listening in, thanks again

Great stuff as always. Really wanting to get in to repotting, but the mornings are so frosty, the trees are coming out like ice blocks. I've been trying to line up the next few against the side of the house over night to help them.

Loved this, thanks

Just dug out 4 20 yr old Azaleas and so far they alive and well.. look forward to spring.. enjoying your shows

Thanks

Really enjoying these videos, thankyou

does Marcela Ferreira have a Utube sight, I would like to see some of her work if possible. Thank you Bonsai Matsu. I love your work.

The best part off Monday morning 👌

Thx for a great informative video

These are super useful tips thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I only have one black pine one white and two ponderosa pine

Keep up the great podcasts mate . Love listening and learning from them here in the uk .

Thank you

In what month is needle cleaning done?

Really great topic and your thoughts about it.

How to get that density ? By pruning the ends every year ? Or to just let it grow for several years ?

Is this every year during autum time ?

Nice one Scott 👍

Great info

👏👏👏 She's a beauty!

Excellent video, thanks so much

What variety of juniper is this tree?

Hi Scott. I see you use some very useful looking height adjustable benches/trolleys. They might suit me very well. Where do you but such things? I can't snag a brand name from any of your images. Roger.

When is the best time to collect pines?
