BONSAI-EASY NEW METHOD-PART 1 OF 3

Posted on July 25th, 2009 by Jon Brown in how to grow bonsai |

Making, raising, and caring for bonsai is easy if you use the new soil-less method which these video clips will show you. Your trees will grow and mature faster than with the traditional method that uses messy soil. I have been using this method since 1985 and have had great results. I started using this method in Philadelphia, and then when I moved to Florida I continued and find it is the best method for me. The traditional method works with slow, tedious growth, and wiring of trees. The new method uses directional pruning and fast growth to make mature looking trees in far less time than the old traditional method. There are so many advantages to the new method, I wonder why anyone would use the old, slow, messy, and difficult traditional method. Take a look at these three videos and you will see how much fun and how easy it is to become a bonsai grower and producer. Fun, fun, fun. Easy, easy easy. I have found the less you fuss with the trees and let them do their natural thing, the better they grow, and the easier the entire process is. You need not over-care for your trees, just water and feed them and occassionally prune them. It really works! This video was shot in about April of 2004. This is a series of three segments, as the maximum time for a YouTube video is ten minutes, The last segment was shot today, December 21, 2007, and shows what happened to the Juniper that I worked on in the original taping. That taping was unplanned, as my son Aaron was visiting from Orlando and we decided on the spur of the moment to shoot a possible pilot show for TV. He had never used that camera before and I think he did a great job. There is much more to show and tell about, and perhaps one day this series will be expanded. If you’d like to see a series like this on television, write to the stations and put some pressure on them. There are many people who would love to try their hand at this fascinating art form but are scared. I hope I have shown you that it is easy and fun, and nothing to be fearful about. It is a great hobby for kids and the elderly and all the in between ages.
PART 4 IS NOW AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE.(May, 2008- showing traditional bonsai at the Morikami Museum. It’s just a silent look at their trees, but it is inspiring)(”Morikami Bonsai Gardens May 2008″).(***PLEASE VIEW PART 12 ABOUT THE WARNING ON HANDLING SPHAGNUM MOSS BEFORE YOU WORK WITH SPHAGNUM MOSS***).

    Before that I was dealing with my mother’s death.THat comment was made months ago to someone else and it was not meant for you. I don’t know what comment you are referring to. I did not intentionally disrespect you. Please email me or post your original comment. I have only recently learned how to check on comments. I have almost 100 videos on and I don’t check them individually for comments. Not sure what this is all about, but would like to straighten it out amicably.

    I did not post that reply 11 hours ago.I was in the hospital with my 28 year old son who had a valve replacement and an aorta replacement. (see next comment)

    It takes you 3 months to formulate a reply. And, you can’t manage to spell check it.

    Look man if you want to have a serious discussion about bonsai that’s fine. Please try to be respectful. I was not being at all disrespectful to you. If you want to discuss technique and horticulture we can do that.

    I am not the ignorant neophyte you take me to be, so please show a little respect. You’ll find you catch more flies with sugar than vinegar.

    Troglodytic imbilcles like you obviously lack the ability to use your brain.m What a waste of humanity. Peolple like you are the cause of most of thr truobles the world suffers today. You wallow in your ignorance and are the laughing stock of thinking people. Let ke know if you want to debate the issue of dieties. Cowards usually don’t debate, so I expect you to decline. Fool.
