Bummer.
My advice is identify your advantage and exploit it.

P.S. Some of what I have written above is intended to be amusing. If it doesn't appear that way to some, don't have coronary, rest assured, tomorrow will still be Friday........even in Adelaide.



If anyone takes offence at that post then they need a frontal lobotamy!, Funniest post I have read for a good while


Now thems' fighting words !Mojo us Sydney siders have a double advantage. We have rays and we just edge out Victoria for talent.

Fair comment, and as my take on it.izzykay wrote: my point isn't about quality of stock so much as it is about having years of training before the comp making it a bit unfair for people who are actually making a shohin in 18months. How is training roots over a rock for two years not counted as training?Just my opinion, not having a go.
A ROR could have awesome roots but if the tree in top looks crap then the whole composition would look crap too.
another point is that when I was doing my ROR Maples, I was workign the trunk at the same time and that woud disqualify it anyway. I could not imagine someone having a ROR in that state and not doing trunk work

I may be wrong, but wodu e hard to imagine otherwise
