That hose on the last tree was pretty powerful, how does the soil not fall off 😂 mine fall off even with the lightest of spray

@bonsai4me2 2 жыл бұрын

Ha! Always water the soil upto the trunk, to water the sides or back, move the hose around the tree

What, if any, is the difference between Oceana's 2 fertilisers? One seems to be a regular and the other aimed at roots but the ingredients appear to be very similar.

Hi Harry, thanks for sharing. I've got a few questions please; 1. When will you do the last fees of the year with this method? 2. Would you recommend this for trees in growth development like pre bonsai being grown for a large trunk? Thank you, Alex

@bonsai4me2 2 жыл бұрын

I keep going until mid-autumn, when day temps fall below 12C I use for all trees including pre-bonsai.

Hi Harry. I am using dissolved BioGold every week and Green Tiger once in a 4 -6 weeks.. I would like to try Oceana. Shall I use both of them at the same time or maybe only Oceana? Thank you

@bonsai4me2 Жыл бұрын

I would just use Oceana, it has everything you need and the BioGold has a chemical element to it

Does the fertilizer washed out of the soil faster if applied this way (semi-liquid)?

@bonsai4me2 2 жыл бұрын

No, the various components just sit within the soil mass. I guess it’s possible for some to flush out of the pot if you watered heavily for a prolonged period of time….so don’t! :)

@robinlabens9322 2 жыл бұрын

Does this also work with regular fertilizer like biogold or other well known fertilizers?

@bonsai4me2 2 жыл бұрын

Yes it does although BioGold and Naruko are not free of chemicals.

Is this all you use? Currently I give sea weed (super thrive) till June then bio gold

@bonsai4me2 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, Oceana contains seaweed and kelp already. BioGold is very good but has chemicals in it and is not truly organic.

@@charlybilloir9048 hi 👋 Biogold won’t harm a pine or any other tree (as far as I know), but it does contain hydrogen peroxide amongst other chemicals. It’s not truly organic.
