Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuAutumn or Fall is an extremely important time for your bonsai and you have a key responsibility to ensure you do your bit. Fertilising is really important and now is the time to get started. The why, how and my strategy for fertilising is really simply and easily replicated. When I design or work on bonsai, one of the final steps I take is a top down view of the tree. A very common mistake is flattening the structure so your bonsai 'looks good' from the front viewing angle at the expense of the tree's overall future strength. This top down view gives you another perspective and makes you consider what is best for the bonsai.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web
Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuWe are in the last month of Summer and while there are certain trees I will fertilise, there are also trees I will not. I run through my program right now and how it could apply to your bonsai garden. I also have a tale of a poor pomegranate that almost made it to the green waste bin but didn't thank goodness! The lesson of sometimes you just need to wait a little longer was learnt. It's always worth waiting.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web

Fertilising your bonsai is a must but how much and how frequent? As there are different stages of development which affect the fertilising of your bonsai so too does the period since the tree was repotted. It is a complex situation and being close to your bonsai is the key. The arrival of Spring comes with a list of responsibilities for us Bonsai Lovers, including growth management and protection of our well loved inner buds.

Seaweed has long been touted as an important resource in the battle against climate change, thanks to its rapid growth and ability to absorb carbon dioxide. Inspired by conversations with a community garden group in Scotland and the founder of a company producing sustainable materials from seaweed, Emma Newman imagines a world in which new materials replace plastics and fossil fuels are replaced by different types of biomass, including seaweed.

DO I CATCH UP WITH HER OR LEAVE ITI had this girlfriend I'd only known for a short time through work. Early in our friendship, just a couple of months in, she asked me for advice on proposing to her boyfriend. I encouraged her to go for it and a few weeks later I found myself hiding behind a beach umbrella, camera in hand, capturing her proposal. Not long after, she asked me to be her bridesmaid. I was flattered and accepted, although I was a bit surprised given how new our friendship was. Then, the wedding was postponed for a year due to a venue mixup. Life got busy for both of us, but I made an effort to stay in touch, regularly checking in. Her responses were few and far between, until one day out of the blue, she sent me a long text telling me she didn't want me at the bridal party anymore. She claimed I was the reason we'd drifted apart but said she still wanted me in her life. Yet, when the wedding finally happened, I wasn't invited at all. A few months after the wedding, she messaged me saying she wanted to catch up. Now, I'm torn: should I take the high road and give her a second chance, or cut ties since she was the one who cut me off first? We still have mutual friends, so it's likely we'll run into each other at some point. NO MORE BABY TALKMy best friend sometimes makes comments when we are out for dinner with our closest girl group like ‘no more baby talk'. It's a punch in the gut for me. This year my entire life has been consumed with my baby. I was on family leave and just started back up at work now. At this point of my life, all of it revolves around my baby. I feel confused and don't know who I am any more, I feel like I have nothing else to talk about, and to my friends who I love dearly, I'm boring them. Normally I wouldn't want to care what people think of me, but her opinion of me really matters. My best friend does want to have kids (but in a few years). I guess my question is, how do I navigate this friendship, since we are both at different stages of our life? How do I navigate the comments? How do I find myself again? I sometimes miss the old me (freedom and time to do things I want to do), but I especially miss the old me when I feel I'm boring my best friends and have nothing else to contribute. Or how do I care less about this? NOT READY FOR MY MUM TO MEET MY NEW BOYFRIENDI'm going away on an overseas holiday with my new boyfriend. We have only been dating for 2-3 months but a holiday is a holiday so why not! My mum is actually going overseas (not with us) at the same time and our flights come in on the same day around the same time. My mum has asked if we can give her a lift home from the airport. It's only early days in the relationship and a long 2 hr drive home from the airport. This might possibly be the first time she and he meet and I'm not ready for that. I don't know how to say no without feeling guilty and if I tell her I'm not ready for her to meet him she won't understand. I know she will take over the car ride home and won't stop yapping or complaining. I'm feeling so anxious about it already. I'm 35 yrs old if age helps with context.

Well it's that time of the year again to start the fertilising engine! While the smell of fertiliser may upset your nearest and dearest I guarantee your bonsai will love you for it. I discuss my methods and processes as well as if we should be fertilising Japanese Black Pines at the moment after decandling. Sometimes yes and sometimes no. I also focus in on when is the right time for working on your pines, what are signs we should wait and when can we just get started.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web
In between the rain, farmers have planted crops many of which are now battling for growth in saturated ground. Waterlogged soil is a poor growing medium, and it also means farmers can't bring machinery onto their land to give the plants fertilisers or pesticides to help them grow. Some are now turning to drones to deliver preparations instead, so at least the soil is not disturbed. But, if the ground is still draining, does that mean more danger of pollution from nutrient rich water running off the fields?A new project's been launched by farmers and scientists, to uncover special traits found in heritage wheats, which could boost productivity in modern commercial varieties. Scientists at the John Innes Centre have been working with the Watkins Collection of heritage wheats gathered in the 1930s from 32 countries. Unlike modern wheat, some of these ancient varieties can interact with bacteria in the soil to allow them access to more nutrients. And, it's lambing time - we visit a smallholding in North Yorkshire where all the ewes are pregnant with either triplets or quads!Presented by Anna Hill Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
So you've decandled your Japanese Black Pine, what do I do now? Or more importantly what don't you do. We remove the fertiliser at the time of decandling but when and when does it get reapplied. And while I'm talking about fertilising, some Australian natives have specific requirements and not getting it right can be quite disastrous. A really common species and often seen as one for the beginners is the Ficus. And I love them! They should be for everyone. They are magnificent bonsai that thrive with your love and care.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web
Spring is a busy time for bonsai and due to the nature of the beast, you can damage your bonsai very easily so it's best not to be distracted. Here's a few tips and tricks I use to avoid any issues. And we've officially had El Niño declared, so what does that mean for us? What should we do? And more importantly what shouldn't we do...You need to consider the future now and take appropriate steps.

Fertilising and Bonsai needs to be measured and monitored. Understanding what stage your bonsai is at, as well as developing a 'plan' will help guide you when it comes to fertilising. I discuss my approach and reasonings for bonsai in development as well as refinement. I also have a read of The Hidden Life of Trees written by Peter Wohlleben. It's a great book and if you love trees you'll love this too. And I discuss Forest Bathing and what it can do for us all. Lastly I finish with a reminder about tool maintenance.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web

There's nothing a healthy garden loves more than a good dose of high quality fertiliser at the right time. Which one is right for you though? And when is the best time to apply? Fear not!

Millie explores the perils of plastic mesh under turf, Clarence turns detective to work out what's eating his plants, and Josh offers advice on when to fertilise potted plants.
Questions to look at: 1) Why would plowing be a problem? 2) What does plowing have to do with us anyway?? 3) Dragging a chair on mud, is that ok? 4) Digging in a sandbox, is that ok? 5) Can I remove rocks and twigs from a lawn? 6) Can I weeding? 7) Can I fertilise soil? 8) Can I place a bean in a jar of water? 9) Can I walk on soft soil and make a foot print? 10) Can I push a baby carriage on soil? Now we begin going through the 39 types of work they did in the mishkan, which was like the temporary temple whilst they travelled through the desert. In the mishkan they had the miraculous "lechem hapanim", which stayed fresh for an entire week! The 1st 11 melachas will go through the steps of producing the bread, the 1st of which is plowing. The basic premise of plowing is the preparation of soil for the purpose of making it more suitable for seeding or planting. Plowing loosens the soil, so any activity which loosens soil is included even if planting wasn't his intention. So many ways we are involved in this even when we are not gardeners as we shall see. Remember the tiniest hole is sufficient to accommodate a very small seed. So going back to each question: 3) Not ok to drag a chair on earth as the chair legs scrape and loosen the soil whilst it's being dragged. 4) Digging in a sandbox is ok as it's too loose to form a hole. However if it was wet then could be an issue. (Reason sandbox not muktza is its automatically set aside for play.) 5) Removing rocks and the like not ok as it's making the land surface more cultivable. 6) Weeding not ok as it improves the soil potential. 7) Fertilising soil not ok as it enriches the soil so improving it for seeding or planting. 8) Placing a bean in a jar of water to sprout not ok. 9) Walking on soft soil is ok even if will cause a footprint because the walking only compresses the soil beneath the foot. Loosening the soil is the problem, not compressing it. Compacting soil doesn't improve it for planting. 10) Pushing baby carriage on soil is also ok even if get a wheel mark as again it merely compresses it.

Providing food for seven billion people is fraught with difficulty. Fertilising vast tracts of land and flying fresh vegetables across the globe comes at a huge environmental cost. But more and more people are turning to hydroponics - growing plants in water, without any soil. The idea itself is hundreds of years old, but new twists on the old technique are now shaping the future of food. We investigate some of the most innovative hydroponics projects, from the refugees growing barley for their goats in the Algerian desert to the underground farm built in an abandoned London bomb shelter. But how efficient can the process become? Can hydroponics begin to offer a serious alternative to conventional farming? Producer: Sam Judah Presenter: Harriet Noble Photo credit: Shutterstock
