Hello hoping you can help me. I’ve got my beloveded grandads very old plant. But the stem is rotting & keeps falling over as it’s too heavy. There are no roots on the stems. I’m completely lost as what to do. I don’t want it to die as it reminds me of my grandad.any advice would be great

Wow, they look beautiful, I have done a few Bonsai in my time, including a couple of Silver Birch trees. My first was a Japanese Maple, in a pot, a beautiful red one with dissected leaves, started in about 1998/9 & is doing very well indeed. You can use any wire, not too thick, that will hold its shape when bent, try not to wrap it too tight, you will dent the branches, you can add more wire as they grow. I bend mine a little bit more every few weeks, till I’m happy with the shape, less chance of snapping/splitting the branches 🫶

Fantastic video. Thank you for the thorough explanation for a beginner who has been intimidated making a bird bath for quite sometime. I originally wanted to buy one, but I can’t justify wasting hundreds of dollars, up to a thousand plus on a bird bath 😞. What I’m using now is a an ugly eye sore Home Depot bucket filled with water, and a shallow dish covering the top like a lid with the solar fountain on top. The solar fountain connects to a small hose that goes into the bucket and I drilled enough drainage holes in the dish leading back into the bucket. Thanks to your video, i now have a plan to make one.

Thanks...would it work to embed some glass marbles around the rim? I assume a full mosaic would not work because it would end up on the underside of the bird bath where it would not be visible. But just on the outside between the inner and outer plate, pressing them in once the middle plate was pressed into place?

Howdy, Kit!👋 I certainly did enjoy this video because I continue to learn so much I need to know. Thanks for answering the question about feeding.😃 Can one put a fruit tree inside too big of a pot? I put my mulberry in a huge pot and it's hard to keep down in size! The pot is 2 feet high and the same across.
@GrowWithKit23 күн бұрын
Hi Valorie I’m happy you found it helpful 😊thank you. The size of the pot is really used to control speed of growth, a huge pot would be almost like planting in the ground. If you prune the roots and cut back a lot of the growth we slow everything down but you can still plant it back in the huge pot.

Hi. Your trees are looking lovely. We have one about 10ft but isnt too full, and would like thicker. Is it ok to prune this time of year, or is it best to wait until Autumn. We havent done anything to her since planting in the ground last year. Wanted to ensure she was settled

I think the WD-40 is probably not very good for any wildlife. No matter how much you wash it the chemical will still be in there.

I know, I didn’t think at the time, I only use vegetable oil now it works better than the WD40 anyway.

@@GrowWithKit I think it's a great plan, one we'll probably do. I like that it's low profile and less likely to tip over. We'll probably make a couple. Thanks for sharing.

What plans do you have for leaf size reduction? I have 2 rowans growing in the ground, slightly thinner trunks than yours but leaf size is an issue. Of course it's not an ideal leaf size species, but it's a fun project!

I have no plans it doesn’t matter to me, I’m gonna let it grow quite big and keep it pruned and shaped how I think looks good. I’ve got trees with much bigger leaves too, it’s all fun to me 😊🌱🌳

It’s not needed on my greenhouse because it slopes slightly and the water flows nicely, I guess you could put a blob of silicone sealant at one end.

Hi Kit, very interested to know why you prefer to use a line cord strimmer rather than fitting a metal brush cutting blade. I have a Honda Strimmer but always tend to use a metal blade ?.
@GrowWithKitАй бұрын
I find the cord mulches the grass down a lot more and it disappears quicker, I do use the blade when there are thicker weeds and brambles. Also the blade is less forgiving if I hit one of my trees, I’ve also gone through the fence before with the blade but the cord doesn’t damage it.
