[IBC] New Bonsai Benches
Just finished one of the most exhausting and enjoyable day's bonsai
related effort. I invited our club to come and work in my garden for the day. In glorious sun we rearranged all my stock, stripping out the old area of trees that I had on palettes on the ground, levelling and placing stone slabs as footings. Weed barrier fabric was spread and 2 tonnes of limestone chippings barrowed down the garden to cover the area. Six benches that I built were then installed and all the pre-bonsai put back. After a hearty barbecue everyone left with a car boot (trunk) full of trees to thank them for their efforts. A couple of members disappeared for most of the day and when I went to check what they had been up to they had cleared the weeds from all of my growing beds, cut the hedges and tidied up the entire area. I was gobsmacked. I managed to pare down my collection and can now look after the remaining stock much more easily. I just about managed to get the irrigation system cobbled together again for a quick watering before coming in to check my email. Now I desperately need a long hot soak and will be praying that my back twinges don't turn out to be a bout of seizure by tomorrow!

[IBC] New Bonsai Benches
Just finished one of the most exhausting and enjoyable day's
bonsai related effort. I invited our club to come and work in my garden for the day. My Goodness! What a great idea! My lawn needs mowing. Weeds are overtaking my vegetable garden. Two of the trees that shade my bonsai need major branches pruned -- 30 feet up! Watch out Tallahassee Bonsai Society! ;-) Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Growing desperate: Pleeeaaassseee . . .DO NOT USE AN APOSTROPHE TO MAKE A PLURAL!!!!!!!!!!!! ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Mike Page ++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
