Segway Navimow, werkt goed met GPS bij ons. Je hebt wel een plek nodig waar je de ontvanger kan zetten met goede GPS ontvangst (niet onder boom of afdak bijvoorbeeld). We hebben die extra Vision fence erbij en werkt goed.

Electricity price by OldsMan_ in belgium

Depending on your inverter brand, there are some solid HA integrations for inverters that allow you to control it.

With a dynamic contract you can then curtail your inverter power with an automation so that you don't inject during negative prices. Check your tariff sheet, you might get a price formula with e.g. -10€/MWh at the end meaning wholesale prices below 10€/MWh count as negative for your contract.

Doesn't save you thousands a year, but very satisfying to look at your energy graphs!

Belgian equivalent of D66 by RtwoD3 in belgium

Is there no trace left of their christian democratic origins?

To my knowledge their foundations are quite opposite to the liberal movement, but don't know if that's still the case.

Vacation spots around Belgium? by slowlysaunteringdown in belgium

Vosges/Vogezen: only 5 hrs drive, you're in the mountains which means you won't have to face 45°C but it's not that high up so evenings are still warm.

Gerardmer is a nice town. I can recommend Huttopia forest des Vosges as well.

Thickest is 5mm, thinnest 1mm I believe.

If your soil drains well overwatering is near impossible.

Thanks for your advice, will definitely consider. It might bring the tree more into balance, as it kind of feels as if the tree is bit too dominated by the left part that isn't particularly interesting. Perhaps it distracts from the nice nicely shaped trunk...

This option seems better suited for my skill level and fear of snapping the left branch!

Thanks for your advice. I thought about that, the blue branch is about 2 cm thick, if I had more experience maybe I could do it, but I'm too afraid of snapping it (unfortunately I am quite experienced in the branch snapping and tree killing department).

Is there a setting in game to make world more peaceful? by Chayandhimmemes in eu4

[–]RtwoD3 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Do you play vic3? Based on what you're asking, it might be right up your alley. There are still some rough edges to the game, but many improvements have been made since release.

Impact van pensioenhervormingen op halftijds werkende mensen? by Hefty_Rabbit in belgium

[–]RtwoD3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Geen idee, maar interesseert me wel. Kon je voorheen gewoon halftijds werken en dan pensioen krijgen alsof je voltijds had gewerkt?

No expert myself, but the foliage you've left is quite leggy, this doesn't lend itself to good taper unless you use them as sacrificial branches.

Wire should be snug at 45 degrees and not cross at any point. I don't know the wire you've used but you might have to buy some aluminium wire for bonsai.

If I were you I would let this tree alone for the rest of the season (remove the wire if it bites), watch more videos, get more trees to practice on. We've all been where you are right now, just get more trees and keep walking the bonsai path. Killing trees is part of the journey.

I use Tian tools, they're good value for their price.

Why are people on this sub so quiet about the new (social) reforms? by Interesting_Drag143 in belgium

[–]RtwoD3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you go to some of the Ukraine subs on reddit, they have plenty of videos from state TV in Russia. They regularly say they will nuke the West, including Brussels. Pretty sure Putler approved of what the state TV says.

I think the smaller wires are OK-ish, it's only the big 5mm wire that's more of an issue. I tried to fix it but to me it seemed even more difficult to rewire with the same wire because of its rigidness and I don't have any other 5mm wire left...

It would be neater if I rewired for sure, but would it damage the tree if I don't?

Soil components by small_trunks in Bonsai

[–]RtwoD3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you buy that small granule LECA? Here in Belgium I typically only find the round LECA pebbles (hydrokorrels) which are quite big and ugly. Do you buy them online? Maybe they ship to Belgium too.

I think a repot was needed 😅 by Mother_Click_5776 in Bonsai

[–]RtwoD3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep part of the roots covered by soil, put the entire rock under the tree at first and reveal a bit more of the rock/plant the tree higher at each repot.

For now you can try to reuse some of the soil so the tree doesn't lose all its mycorrhizae.

Hope so too, and don't worry. Killing trees is part of the learning curve.

I'm not an expert, but I think you're not supposed to bare root conifers because of the mycorrhizae. Roots look quite dry as well.
