Saving 30 yrs old Bonsai
Comments (7)I got my facts from bonsainut.com they all stress to never fertilize a stressed bonsai. Only fertilize a tree that is healthy. Did a google search...and it is found in gardenweb.com's FAQ's... http://faq.gardenweb.com/faq/lists/bonsai/1998105703019297.html > Probably the most important rule about fertilizing is to never feed a tree that is under stress. The causes of stress are many, ranging from over watering or under watering to newly pruned roots or disease. If you have no success on a name for your species of tree...maybe...try over at bonsainut.com... They might be able to also help you name the specimen of bonsai you have as well.

Comments (4)it is side play, end play is good. I just pulled the gear box and impeller out of the housing. The impeller shaft snapped at the roll pin closest to to the gear box. that may account for the sideplay in the bearing. So now I have a balky carb on another 24 " Ariens of unknown vintage that works fine otherwise. I think a needle and seat will fix that. It has a single belt setup with a dog clutch to engage the blower. It doesnt look like a straight swap. I guess I'm gonna be hunting for Ariens parts....See More30yr old oak tree had alot of roots damaged(m)
Comments (4)Unless you dug a 2-3' deep trench across the root area, I really don't think it will be a problem. The volume of the 4-8 post holes you dug really, as Ken said, is very little, comparatively speaking, with the greater root mass. I would also agree that mulching is always a good idea (as widely as possible, no deeper than 4", and no mulch in the 2-4" next to the trunk), and a really, slow, deep watering won't hurt either, unless you just GOT 4" of rain in the past week. If you did, I am very envious - we've had 4" in the last 4-6 months!...See MoreHelp with 30+ yr old grape vine, roots destroyed!
Comments (5)Most all grapes are very tough plants. There was an old grape of some kind growing here when we moved in some 35 years ago in a place I did not want it growing, so I cut it down and tried to pull as much of the root out as possible (it is not an easy task) and that grape is still trying to grow in that same place today even though I keep cutting it back. I also have "wild" grapes that the birds apparently are seeding for me that I need to keep cutting back growing full shade as well as full sun. Watch next spring to see if this will not grow back....See MoreDan C
