The Queen used to have two birthdays. Seems silly as you can only be born on one day of the year 🤔 Ps. You never know, a life in prison might suit you. Seems to agree with @Tony’s Bonsai 😂😂😂

@@BlueJayBonsai Cool. 29 I see you are coming up to. You are still a young whipper snapper.
What a cool gifts! And the comeback of viewers photos ❤ 'specially those cork-bark oaks .... I maybe have to start travelling to south of Europe, not just the north...... If you don't like using peat, try and use coir with it/ or plain coir. Good for seeds and seedlings and a renewable source unlike peat. Keeps moisture preeeetty well, but is also well draining. Can be mixed up with perlite and/or pumice. But the OG Nigel-Saunders mix is the best for root growth and drainage 🧡 💚💚💚

I know Nigel's typical mix but wondered if there was a specific seed soil mix that he uses. Is it just a smaller particle size of the usual and some potting soil? I think he mentions that in one of his @thebonsaizone videos. Here is the mention after he sifts out the fine dust kzread.info/dash/bejne/gn9_vLF7hs2_YJM.html
