Re: Akadama and Kanuma, Sydney $20 a bag
Phew Thought we would never get there at times 
We have decided on the kiss strategy at the moment and keeping it at cost price. I think we need to round that off to $16 a bag leaving the change for Steven. I doubt it will cover costs for food and drinks but it's a start
It's a pity I can't make it to collection day. It would be great catching up for lunch in those surroundings.
Still a little shop keeping to sought out before the collection day.
I have two unread messages in my out box from Nereus and alanpeck please read your Pm's if we can't get confirmation that you still want the bags I can't guarantee they won't be sold to other members. Maybe they can't read the messages so if any one knows how to contact them please help them out.
I think everyone else has confirmed their order.

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: Akadama and Kanuma, Sydney $20 a bag
My kids would love the tortoise!
Been bugging me for one as a pet, to join the 3 dogs, 1 cat and two fish........ anybody want a few kids? All come with a small suitcase and no instructions!
My azaleas have been whispering to the other trees that they are special.

My azaleas have been whispering to the other trees that they are special.
Whilst walking through the forest of Bonsai Myths, I found a single small tree.
From it I learned all I needed to know.

Re: Using Akadama and Kanuma
We them moved to the front gate where Steven has another Pine planted on the footpath garden !this has been here for nearly 2 years and is MUCH larger than it was apparently.
For those doubters as to whether planting in the ground is beneficial. the Branch steven is trying to bend had to have 2 wrap[s of 5 mm wire to hold it and is only 2 years old and would be 2 inches thick
the end of the branch which was last years growth would at least be 1 inch thick!!
