It's Japanese Black Pine decandling time for me so I wanted to talk about why we can use this technique and when you shouldn't more importantly. I also chat about Colour and Space and how I use them in designing bonsai. Then I continue with my journey and evolution in the world of bonsai with my first trip to Japan. There's lots to cover and so much to learn. Just life changing!

Movement and Balance in bonsai design are considered by me to be some of the most important design elements and I discuss them in this podcast. I also continue with my journey to Japan where it all began. I still believe it to me an amazing adventure and learning experience that I'm sure you'll enjoy listening to.

This is an interesting podcast, I start with a bit of history on myself and my bonsai journey, discuss what I call the Good with the Bad and bonsai and also start discussing the Fundamentals of Design and how I see they apply to bonsai. So this podcast is the first of a short series that will expand and grow over the next few podcasts.

In this podcast, I discuss what I would tell my younger bonsai-self to make my journey far more enjoyable and successful. We all know you cannot put an old head on a young body but it would be nice to provide a shortcut through the bonsai mistakes I made when I was younger. From tools, to stock purchasing, fine tuning my bonsai skill set, bonsai pots, tie down your bonsai and the really big one, the thing I should have been told before being allowed to even touch a bonsai...

For me to be successful with my bonsai, it is very important that my actions are easy, repeatable, measurable, accurate and predictable. This podcast discusses why this is so crucial. Also, does this piece of material have potential? In short, yes. This is an interesting podcast and I chat about my processes and thoughts after repotting has been completed. And it's time to start thinking about chinks in your armour as we head towards Summer.

Have you thought about your fertilising strategy for every one of your bonsai? This podcast discusses the thinking behind developing this strategy and why it is so important. I also want to acknowledge the owners of highly refined Japanese Maples and all the dedication and time involved in their care, especially at the start of Spring! And have you ever heard about working on your bonsai on the hottest day of the year? So, it's quite common and I give my thoughts on the timing. I hope you enjoy the podcast and it provides another link in the chain to brilliant bonsai for us all.

The joy of moving a developing bonsai from a plastic container to a bonsai pot cannot be underestimated! Does it make you actually treat your bonsai differently too? I discuss the 1%ers and how your attachment to a bonsai will make you give it move love. It's nearly the start of Spring in Melbourne, Australia so I cover off on some of the necessary tasks we should all be considering. It's a great episode and I hope you enjoy it!

When considering your bonsai and you are leaning back, reviewing the design, ask yourself, does it add to the design or distract from it? I chat about pots, branch placement, negative space and other design considerations you need to consider. I also cover the importance of good education and the you don't know what you're not shown. I have  found some really interesting facts about an Australian Native species the Eucalyptus. It's an interesting listen and I hope you enjoy it!
