bonsai area

[Lynette]

We have just started making my new bonsai area, or I should say David haas just started, I just direct. Here are some photos. To day he made a bridge over the dry river and layed some of the stones out better, but I haven't taken a photo of that yet.

Lynette, where do you buy the timber sleepers? Bunnings is too expensive.

[Lynette]

We have been getting them at Bunnings, don't know of anywhere else, but you could try a timber yard. I haven't thought of it before, but there is a timber mill just up the road from us,they might be much cheaper there.

WoW! What a lovely lil' bonsai yard! A bit of reed/bamboo screening and you'd think your in Japan!

Very nice Lynette, you have a nice big area (and nice trees too). Good to see someones area being built from scratch like this. I am in the process of doing the same. What are your round stands made of??

Hi Lynette, nice to see your trees so spread out it makes such a huge difference to them. Looking good.

Thanks everybody,
The round stands are made of concrete, they were left over from a house we built afew years ago and where they were used on top of bricks to hold up the porch. I suspect they would be expensive just to use as bonsai stands.
Being abale to seperate the trees makes them look so much better. I still have a couple of hundred to find places for. I just put mainly the decidius one in this area because of the way they will be shaded in summer.
I have made a rough drawing of what we hope to achieve and we still have a way to go. I had more screening, but it just goes a horrible colour, so now a looking for something else to use.

Crikey Lynette, if you've still got a couple of hundred trees waiting to be placed, and I've seen photos of other members' trees (in their hundreds also) HOW DO YOU PEOPLE GO AWAY FOR A HOLIDAY IM UP TO ABOUT FORTY AND STARTING TO PANICK I guess you really have to keep sweet with friends and family Also leaving your home would be a high security risk...how do you ensure they don't get stolen
