Seasol benefits

[dayne]

are you using the same soil as the test and the same trees and the same altitude and the same temperature and the same daylight hours same humidity are seeds from the same tree as in all science you need to maintain a strict control over all varieables if not your wasting your time ring a scientest at csiro and may be could help you run your own tests i allways believe to much knowledge sends people crazy common sense is the key but if you must know run some tests and post your findings

[Bretts]

Hi Dayne
I will be happy if I get the dosage rate as described in the study

[dayne]

yeah allso have you tried auxinone check it out ive had great succsess with it havnt lost a transplanted tree since started using it

[Jamie]

i have just found a supplier of auxinone up here, i got the bloke to order it in keen to try it out

[Chris H]

Maybe I should start a new thread but

what is auxinone?

oh and Ive never bothered to be too careful with fertislizer Just guess a bit. sometimes itll be light others heavy Im sure.
As long as I get it done Im happy. Too busy to measure it all.
I just know I dont like granular products which you have to mix like thrive, they never disolve properly and get stuck in the watering can.

Once one has a basic understanding, the rest is about learning to read and trust your tree's. They will tell you what is needed. But if the science of the whole matter excites you and you just cant get enough information. Then by all means continue. Like great chefs, after a basic understanding they learn to read their pallets, sense of smell, become one with them and trust them. The scientific bunch usally join the food science service's or health inspecter service's. they couldn't make the grade of great chefs. not enough time put in doing it.

Antonio, are you suggesting more art and less science? Sounds like a plan!

Cheers

probably because its the essence of what we do

[anttal63]

Indeed bohdi, you would think so.

[anttal63]

How much.....too much......not enough......i personally think you gotta try things and learn from it and if is wrong dont worry as Tony sad your tree will let you know.....
I know someone repotted a privet but just before to put the tree in the new pot, it has been left overnight in a 100% solution of seasol....and guess what....The tree did not drop one leaves and it is still alive today and looking very healthy

Aye lele even you are here ??? Now you sure about that 100% over night??? Hey how did you like my analogy of a great chef???

There go my dreams of being a chef. Shattered.

DO it rhi DO it !!!

Too much science in my blood. I'll just stick to being an amateur cake decorator.

Not that I've gotten anywhere with bonsai (yet!), but I must say studying plants at a cellular and later at a species level has certainly helped a lot in understanding how plants function. A healthy dose of both theoretic and practical knowledge certainly go a long way in helping the bonsai enthusiast. Makes it easier if you know why something works, not just that it works period.

[anttal63]

yeah something like that...
