The topic for our last club meeting was Root over Rock.
Les did a great job showing members the aluminium foil method for starting root over rock tridents and the results of his trials over about 5 years.

Here are some of the trees we had on display at that meeting

Some nice looking trees there Neil. Are you able to briefly describe the aluminium foil method?

This link to a post on Shibui Bonsai is probably far better than a brief description: http://shibuibonsai.com.au/?p=188

Thanks Neil. I'll have a dig around the garden to find some rocks. On another topic you had promised me a twin trunk trident for pickup at the Canberra show. Could you please remember to throw it in?
