Happy hour dig, english elms.

Post by Gerard »

Many people spend the last hour of daylight on Friday at the pub for happy hour.
After arriving home from work early (4pm) I decided there was enough daylight for a quick dig at a site 2 minutes from my home.
By 5.30pm I had 6 english elms in training pots.

Hi Gerard, nice scores mate. Could you please let me know where you bought the shallow orchid pots and what size they are?
Cheers,
DK
Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.

Hi Kvan,
I followed this article and purchased 30 x 300mm, 30 x 200mm and 30 x 100mm.
Prices were approx $2.70, $1.40 and 35 cents from memory, after adding GST, freight and nursery levy I paid about $165
I wish I had ordered more but will probably do it again next year.
