AusBonsai Community Market Day - 8th March 2014

[Steven]

1. Will there be anyone selling Diatomite? I see a lot of mention of this in the forums, and have read this is better than Zeolite
2. Will there other plants such as carnivourous plants? Looking to add some more pitcher plants and sundews in my backyard.

G'day Jack, I'm not aware of anyone who will be selling either of these but being a market... you never know.

Following is a map of the venue in relation to the Auburn Japanese Garden. I highly recommend getting along to the garden to have a look. The pond is huge! For anyone who's significant other is is giving them a hard time about going along to 'another bonsai event' you could use the gardens as an enticement for your partner to come along

Well it looks like there be will something for everyone.
Just be aware you will have to be on time to get the goodies.
The Goulburn club has 7 dedicated buyers coming and have organised a Hyundai iLoad to take their purchases home.
Plus a wagon and a car with a big boot.
Many thanks to Steven for the organising and the wider bonsai community for supporting what promises to be a great event.

It has been tried and was a big flop. Will not try again, sell from the club shows.

Man this is going to be a bunfight when the gates open…. Unless the stallholders have bought all the good stuff from each other already.

Best of luck to all competitors.

Please keep in mind that not all buyers will be there at 10.00am .

I appreciate that all the best deals will be snapped up quickly, but this event is scheduled to run until 2.00pm.

I am hoping everyone doesn't pack up and go home at 10.30am (unless everything is sold of course).

Might have to put up a blockade so the "goulburn expedition crew" don't wipe out all stock!!!

By the sounds of it, you might need to bust out the riot shields Steven! Shaping up to be a huge day!

I've got about 50 trees that I'll be parting with. Everything from Shohin sized stock to a 2 man ficus. Most of my trees have had some form of training and have all been grown for bonsai. Casuarina, Ficus, Melaleuca, Banksia, Elm, Juniper etc. Something for everyone.
As well as trees I've got about 50 pots looking for homes. Some cheap, some quality, some old, some new and some hand made. Pots will start at $2 with most around $5, $10 or $20.
I've also got a timber shohin display stand with space for 6 trees.

My stuff will be priced to sell and everything is negotiable

Nice ute.

Is that for sale as well?

[Shane]

Steven, I will have to console myself with doing a Rob Kempinski workshop tomorrow as I can't be in two places at once, nor make it to Sydney. Hope it is a roaring success. Cheers Shane

Why bother Steven. I have the same ute as yours. I'll simple back mine close to yours and we can with no effort transfer the plants across. That i transfer a few slabs of to you and we are done. Hows that for negotiation ?

Then just swap car keys.... that way you wont have to even bother moving the goods.
