nice pet... I mean Graeme
the amount of fert i use is just that, I am powerfeeding the tree and having great results, some might not get the same success as i have, maybe i am just lucky?? I have found that the DL in the bottom of the bucket is good, I havent lifted the tree out of the bucket for a few months now so it has probably taken into the DL and directly fertilising the new roots, my tree is very happy though and is putting on new growth, which is the plan as the tree is here to be grown on, to get the tree to the size that i want means it needs to grow freely
the bucket is always getting topped up with fresh water and i have found the DL doesnt smell any where near as bad with it in the water! the other reason i am growing it like this is that I want to try and develop the knees that are seen in the wild or even at the national collection (i think it is one of the swampies in the ground, tis a big tree
I havent noticed seasol causing problems with moss but thats because i dont use it, moss can harbour nasties that ya dont want on a tree you are trying to grow on, only time i would use moss is if i was showing a tree. A few mates have all told me the same thing about moss, if moss is growing happily on the soil surface then the soil is to wet, obviously this doesnt really apply to swamp type trees, but yea you get the idea
anyways i not sure that made sense
taking the top half of trees of since 2005!
