Things have been a little slow on the blog of late. I have been busy with work and have just had a wrist re-construction on my dominant hand. It is slowing me down but I have a bit of time off work now to recover from the surgery so hopefully I can get a few posts written.
As for my bonsai, they havent slowed down a bit. My new fertiliser regime seems to be working as I have a whole lot of healthy growth.
The problem this time of the year is finding room to add more fertiliser. Most of my pines have their soil surfaces pretty much covered. I will be starting to replace the older fert bags with new ones in the coming weeks.
With all this feeding I have got strong healthy pines with lots of new growth. All this new growth will be coming off in a few weeks once de-candling time arrives. I am still not sure how this will work one-handed but I should be able to get it done one way or another. I will make sure I have a few pics taken to document the process, in the mean time I will try to get a few things done around the yard and get a few posts uploaded.

I’ve been so slack with my fertilizing this year. Not a bit of it. Take care of that hand though won’t you.

Thanks Mate.
The beauty of a cake style fert is that they feed every watering once they are on the soil surface. They really are the perfect solution for the forgetful/ lazy grower and hence why i love them!
