Modern Substrate

Anonym said…
"Since you are a 'student' of Walter Pall, do you also swear by the modern substrate, or also use other soil mixtures and compositions? "

my answer:
I will never use the old soil mixes, they´re to expensive for a student and my experience shows the advantages of modern substrate: better and more growth, more resilient, healthy trees, lightweight (you feel like hercules, you can carry the biggest trees), simple to use and to fertilize, not expensive cause you can recycle it when you wash organic waist before using again, away.

This tree was bought with my most favorite tree. Unfortunately this one cost twice the price and I wasn´t very happy with the half-cascade. It was for sale for a long time. On the one hand, the shape of the crown bored myself, on the other hand it wasn´t healty the last 1 1/2 years and the -- in my opinion most important -- branch died this year. You have o life with this strange thing, for this kind of junipers it´s ´normal´. But here the problem was the soil. Too much organic waste (greetings to Walter Pall and his used soil  ;) ) NEw soil and position without touching the roots. NEVER TOUCH THE ROOTS on junipers like this.
I decided not to sell it by now cause I´d an intention. Lets take a look at my today´s work.
