e 10 cement not concrete mix sika makes a similar product but the sand is a little coarser and contains more calcium aluminate okay i am there or am i no i needed to develop 3 new skill sets hmm i am stick man level 1 but i need to get to level 2 containers came out ok but my wire cloth designs needed work so with a little patience experimenting and practice with the wire mesh i managed to get to stick man level 2 as far as wire mesh skill an engineering course would here next skill set is applying the grout mixtures what i did learn was making different slurries from wet mixes to drier mixes for different purposes small batches of mixes are key you only have 10 minutes tools to apply the mixes are important also palette knives work great also cheap thin metal spatulas bread knives all can found at a thrift store salvation army for one after a couple of hours the grout can be worked but be careful it is still in the green state you can wire brush sculpt don t move the piece though at this state after 12 hours you can still work it wire brush etc after 3 days it is very hard and you will need strong tools this skill just needs practice those of you that are familiar with clay modeling will do well here the third skill is the painting i made mistakes by using solid color outdoor stains solid colors filled in all the little cracks surface features i created and gave the container a fake look switching to semi transparent stains gave the look i wanted and i have since purchased and airbrush and having a lot of fun with that a wild looking pinus contorta and a cement container to fit it detail of grout layers and painting with semi transparent stains collected in 2014 needs a good grout cement pot posted in uncategorized 4 replies have you done this before posted on november 18 2014 by anijhuis reply when you start on a new bonsai project do you try for something different not just different to you but just different is our bonsai ikea furniture not saying there is anything wrong with that i happen to like ikea but hasn t all been done already i found an interesting youtube https www youtube com watch v 8ftdjebw8aa the fear that everything has already been done i saw the video and thought i have to share this posted in uncategorized leave a reply pine needle blights and needlecasts posted on june 11 2014 by anijhuis reply dothistroma needle blight i copied this from several sources but i think it is important for everyone that has pines to know about this blight dothistroma needle blight is caused by the fungus mycosphaerella pini rostr this common pine pathogen kills needles of all ages and can weaken or kill austrian pine trees recently we have also found dothistroma on white pine the main symptom is dead needle tips beyond the yellow to tan needle spots these spots enlarge to form distinct brown to reddish brown bands needle tips turning brown on austrian pine photo credit jill o donnell msu extension the black fruiting bodies of the fungus can be seen in the dead spots or bands on the needles the spores spread by wind and rain and can infect needles throughout the growing season new needles are susceptible once they emerge from the needle sheaths the black fruit bodies appear in the fall however the spores are released the following spring and summer the best protection of new needles can occur when applying copper based materials as the new needles emerge from the needle sheaths and as the spores are released from the fruiting bodies to protect foliage from infection apply a registered fungicide containing copper or mancozeb in mid june through mid july this year 2013 you might start earlier since trees are ahead of normal repeat the application two or three times as needed at seven to 10 day intervals some people refer to this as red band disease description early symptoms consist of deep green bands fig 2 and yellow and tan spots on needles the deep green color of bands does not last and cannot be detected unless observed at the onset of symptom development later the spots and bands turn brown to reddish brown fig 3 the bands are brighter red and more numerous on pines in california oregon washington and idaho where this disease is often referred to as the red band disease figure 2 early symptoms deep green bands on austrian pine needles infected with dothistroma pini figure 3 spots and bands on austrian bands on austrian pine needles infected pine needles infected with dothistroma pini figure 4 typical appearance of infected austrian pine needles needle tips brown needle bases green the ends of infected needles progressively turn light green tan and brown with the base of the needles remaining green fig 4 needles may develop extensive necrosis browning 2 to 3 weeks after the first appearance of symptoms infection is typically most severe in the lower crown fig 5 figure 5 dothistroma pini damage severe in lower crown infected needles drop prematurely infected second year needles are cast before infected current year first year needles in some seasons second year needles are cast in the late fall of the year they became infected in other seasons loss of second year needles is not extensive until late the following spring or early summer needles that become infected the year they emerge often are not shed until late summer the following year successive years of severe infection result in decreased growth and ultimately death the disease makes pines in landscapes unsightly and pines in christmas tree plantings unmarketable dothistroma needle blight can be mistaken for brown spot disease caused by the fungus scirrhia acicola the symptoms on needles are similar with both diseases trees are affected first in the lower crown the dark stromatic fruiting bodies of d pini and s acicola look alike after they have erupted and split the epidermis when a common host is involved these two fungi can be distinguished only by microscopic examination of conidia the conidia are somewhat similar in shape and size and both have cross walls however conidia of d pini are hyaline whereas conidia of the brown spot fungus are colored usually a greenish brown these two fungi have several hosts in common however scots pine which is severely damaged by the brown spot fungus is rarely infected and seldom damaged seriously by d pini a plantation of 36 geographic sources of scots pine in eastern nebraska has remained free of dothistroma blight but an adjacent plantation of austrian pine has been severely damaged life cycle figure 6 conidia of dothistroma pini the fungus has both a sexual stage scirrhia pini and an asexual stage dothistroma pini in the united states the sexual stage has been found only in alaska california and oregon the stromata of the sexual stage produce ascospores whose role in the development of epidemics is not known much is known about the role of conidia spores produced by the asexual stage in disease development fig 6 conidia from western states are considerably longer on the average than those found elsewhere in the united states these differences in length of conidia have led to a designation of three varieties of the fungus linearis the longest spored form is found in western states pini the shortest spored form is found in central and eastern states and keniensis with conidia intermediate is found in east africa conidia are borne in stromata fruiting bodies which develop below the epidermis of needles fig 7 in the central united states stromata may develop sufficiently in the fall to raise and split the epidermis they generally do not mature and produce conidia until the following spring the epidermis is split longitudinally along two sides of the dark stromatic bodies with a fragment of the epidermis often adhering to the top of the fruiting bodies the conidia are exposed as the epidermis is raised they are released during wet weather and dispersed by rainsplash any time during the growing season thus new infections can occur any time it rains from may to october however symptoms do not appear on newly infected needles until early fall in the central united states figure 7 fruiting bodies of dothistroma pini raising the epidermis of needles two growing seasons are required for completion of the life cycle in most areas of the united states although in california and oregon the cycle may be completed in 1 year in these states the period between infection and appearance of symptoms is much shorter than in other states control copper fungicides effectively prevent infection by d pini bordeaux mixture applied twice in the growing season has provided good protection of pines in shelterbelt christmas tree park landscape and other plantings in the central united states chlorothalonil is also registered for use against d pini fungicides containing copper salts of fatty and rosin acids however are registered for control of dothistroma blight only in the north central states the first application mid may protects needles from previous seasons the second application protects current year needles when control is intended for plantings of austrian or ponderosa pines the second application can be made after considerable new growth has occurred because current year needles of these species initially resist infection and do not become susceptible until midsummer july effective control has also been obtained in plantings in the central united states with a single application made after considerable growth has occurred early june there is some risk in this procedure since infection would occur in previous years needles before the early june application a single application will control this disease on trees that do not have susceptible current year needles many christmas tree growers in the central united states are effectively controlling dothistroma with a single fungicide application annual spraying for control of dothistroma blight is unnecessary in certain types of plantings because control of this disease can be obtained with fungicides managers can risk not spraying in park residential and similar types of plantings if infection occurs during a year in which fungicide has not been applied fungicide can be applied the next year with confidence that good control will be obtained if little or no infection occurs the year fungicide was not applied spraying can be skipped for another year on the other hand christmas tree growers should probably not skip spraying any years because of the high possibility of great financial loss procedures for control of the disease in the western united states will differ from those that are effective in the central united states because of differences in the life cycle of the fungus hosts growth and weather experience with this disease in christmas tree plantings of shore pine in oregon indicates that fungicide should be applied earlier than in the central united states the use of genetic resistance looks promising for preventing or reducing damage by this fungus resistant strains or clones have been identified in austrian ponderosa and monterey pines seed from a yugoslavian source which has shown high resistance is currently used to produce austrian pines for great plains plantings recently several geographic sources of ponderosa pine have been identified as having high resistance needles of all ages are highly resistant on some trees on other trees current year needles are resistant but older needles are susceptible fig 8 posted in uncategorized leave a reply psuedo science in the bonsai world posted on april 23 2014 by anijhuis reply i have come across a few articles either online or in bonsai publications that use illogical logic to try and prove a theory point or reason why they do what they do the reasoning sounds logical but it doesn t have the science to back it up i was reading through an article in a bonsai publication regarding bonsai soils and it stopped me dead it was written by a well known bonsaist that had years of training by bonsai masters the statements that were made regarding soils and root systems sounded logical but was not based on any science at all and in all actuality was fundamentally wrong here is an example quote the idea is that by allowing the soil to dry out more rapidly trees will naturally send out more roots in search of moisture our job is to then quench this soil with water on a more frequent basis so as to keep the new feeder roots alive and healthy this continual process of rapid drying out and frequent quenching is what produces fine healthy root systems and in turn better foliar growth i really don t think so where is the science to back this up what i learned as an arborist was in reality is fine roots grow in moist fertile well aerated soils and branch more roots that search for water are not feeder roots dr shigo on the rhizosphere 1 root hairs on non woody roots are extensions of single epidermal cells common on seedlings root hairs grow to maturity in a few days they function for a few weeks and then begin to die on mature trees they are usually not abundant when they do form they do so when soil conditions are optimum for absorption of water and elements this statement uses the words fine organic components soil mixes that contain higher percentages of fine organic components such as bark and peat will provide a growing environment counter productive to our developmental goals not true where is the science a totally false statement with no science in reality fine roots grow in moist fertile well aerated soils with more branching yes these mixtures hold more moisture making watering an easier process because the soil dries out less often but if the soil remains wetter for longer roots are not being actively encouraged to grow which will be reflected by poor foliar growth not entirely true at all non woody tree roots are organs that absorb water and elements dissolved in it the two basic types of non woody roots are 1 root hairs on non woody roots are extensions of single epidermal cells common on seedlings root hairs grow to maturity in a few days they function for a few weeks and then begin to die on mature trees they are usually not abundant when they do form they do so when soil conditions are optimum for absorption of water and elements i have found root hairs growing in non frozen soils beneath frozen soils in winter flower buds all the nutrition that is required for a flower bud to open already exists in the bud removal is not necessary and flowering does not take any energy from the plant seed production does and removing spent blooms stops seed production superthrive snake oil people who claim it works have zero
