    Season 6 Episode 10 - Fertilising Process and Overview, Pine Work - waiting or starting

    Well it's that time of the year again  to start the fertilising engine! While the smell of fertiliser may upset your nearest and dearest I guarantee your bonsai will love you for it. I discuss my methods and processes as well as if we should be fertilising Japanese Black Pines at the moment after decandling. Sometimes yes and sometimes no. I also focus in on when is the right time for working on your pines, what are signs we should wait and when can we just get started.

    Season 6 Episode 9 - Cedars, The Bud Conveyor and Mental Preparation

    Season 6 Episode 9 - Cedars, The Bud Conveyor and Mental Preparation

    Cedars make brilliant bonsai! There is so much to love about them and they should be part of every bonsai enthusiasts collection, no excuses. They have certain requirements and I chat about their characteristics and techniques I use. Then there is the bud conveyor, one of the most important concepts in bonsai and everything we do with our bonsai will be to feed the bud conveyor. I chat about this concept and how we can use it to maintain our bonsai design integrity. And finally, pine season is nearly here....I need to prepare for it mentally and start plan reviews.

    Season 6 Episode 8 - A Chat with Bonsai Empire about all things bonsai around the world

    Season 6 Episode 8 - A Chat with Bonsai Empire about all things bonsai around the world

    The love of bonsai is growing worldwide and so too are the online learning platforms. Oscar Jonker is the founder of Bonsai Empire which has become a household name for anyone with an interest in bonsai. But you don't often hear much about Oscar. I was fortunate enough to get to have a personal chat with him about bonsai all around the world, about Bonsai Empire and the piece of the bonsai puzzle that is online learning as well as what the future of bonsai may look like. I really loved this experience and it's a great podcast so please enjoy!

    Season 6 Episode 7 - A Plan for Managing Problems, Bluetooth Connectivity and Autumn

    Season 6 Episode 7 - A Plan for Managing Problems, Bluetooth Connectivity and Autumn

    When something goes wrong with your bonsai, you take action. But how do you know if what you have done has worked or if it's getting worse? I've got a process that will help. Also we have a connection with our trees, some more than others and Autumn is on the way, might not always feel like it with the final kick of Summer still in the air but it is. What can you expect, what should you do and what shouldn't you do? I'll chat about it.

    Season 6 Episode 6 - New Zealand Bonsai and Natural Beauty, Keeping it Simple and OMG Watering System

    Season 6 Episode 6 - New Zealand Bonsai and Natural Beauty, Keeping it Simple and OMG Watering System

    I seriously love bonsai in New Zealand! And what an amazing place too, just so beautiful. Having just returned from a short trip I look back on my experiences, the native stock I came across and the people I met. One of my key objectives is to get and keep people involved with bonsai and to do this it needs to be simple, clear and inclusive. And you will not believe the story about my watering system failure....

    Season 6 Episode 5 - Working on a Tricky Section plan, How was Summer and Ah-hah!

    Season 6 Episode 5 - Working on a Tricky Section plan, How was Summer and Ah-hah!

    How did your bonsai fair over Summer? Now is the time to review. I chat about what to look for and how to strengthen your system to make continual improvements as well as let you know where my system failed. And when working on bonsai, we all have the experience of indecision regarding a tricky section on the tree. I let you know how I manage this and move forward. Also, you know that feeling you get when the plan comes together? That ah-hah moment? I love it and it's what makes me work so hard.
