What's Ryan Using?

Post by The Munt »

Hey guys,

Been loving the Mirai Channel of late and this one's a beauty, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OanGfoSJDKE

I understand why with such a far reach he would be reluctant to tell us exactly what brand's he is using, but anyone know what Pelletised Fert Ryan is using at exactly 1:43:45 in the video link above?

Anyone recognise this stuff? Only hint is at one point he said he's a fan of Bio... something. But I couldn't find that spot again when I went looking to determine exactly what he said.

Just curious more than anything as I've not seen pelletised fert like this before.

:beer: :worship: :beer:

At 49:00 he explains what it is, a 50:50 mix of ground-up green moss collected from aggregate surfaces and ground-up sphagnum moss that has been dyed grey

TimS, that is just what he's spreading on the surface to promote moss growth.

I want to know what the grey pelletised Fertiliser he has in his hand at 1:43:45

I'm concerned people might read your reply and think my question is answered now so I'd appreciate it if you could edit it out. :tu2:

at 1:43:20 ish he says "we believe very heavily in using BioGold (the brand of fertiliser)" So i'm assuming its's BioGold in an unmarked bag so as not to advertise one brand in particular

Not sure if it is the same video, but I have seen a video where his assistant mentions they only use BioGold at the Mirai nursery. If you find out where to buy it in Aus give us an update.

Not sure but there are plenty of good ferts around, but the best one it the one you use regularly?

As Pup has said on this site before, "It does not patter what fert you use, Just use it regularly"

Yes, this is an excellent video - along with the answers to the the Munt's question by TimS and others - I just wanted to say thanks for posting the video. :cool: :clap: :)
Tending bonsai teaches me patience.
