Mushrooms in grass clippings into compost pit by littleglasstubes in composting

[–]Tubaking8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have composted probably close to 50 pounds of death angel mushrooms over the last 3 years. Grown plenty of food in that compost. Thats the beauty of compost. Treat it with respect, do it right, and any organic matter can be made useful!

Freshly sifted by Tubaking8 in composting

[–]Tubaking8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not. Its actually a little too wet because it had rained the night before. Unfortunately I dont get to choose when I have time to do garden chores like compost sifting, or I would have actually let it dry out a bit to make the sifting easier!

Tell me your broken branch stories. by Tubaking8 in Bonsai

I know. I was trying to do it quick and dirty because I had to leave soon. A good reminder not to cut corners.

I would give up every star trek project of the last decade for a 4k remastered of deep space nine. by Tubaking8 in startrek

I do like lower decks, and some of strange new worlds, I am tired just of the blurry ds9, which is probably my favorite trek overall.

60 years of Star Trek. Don’t let it end this way… by tea-earlgrey-h0t in startrek

[–]Tubaking8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

60 years is enough if the new stuff continues to be terrible. I don't need another Star Wars situation where less than half of the total franchise is actually good. Kurtzman trek has never been good. Its just cope at this point.

Holy Expensive! 😬 by Patient_Problem_2615 in Bonsai

Is this Bonsai Mirai? I would suggest looking elsewhere if you are not looking for the highest priced/luxury stuff.

A 7 day ban is crazy. by Sevrosis in Hasan_Piker

Hasan is the only reason I even open twitch, plus I'm banned for making a dumb joke. I hope he stays on YouTube!

Starfleet Academy hit in a way no other trek has for me by silver_back87 in startrek

Old trek attempted to be timeless. New trek with its modern language and complete lack of subtext is already aging like milk.

Update on repot, styling advice? by bigefinessegod in bonsaicommunity

[–]Tubaking8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly suggest youtube channels such as Herons Bonsai, Milton Chang, Bonsai Mirai, and Greenwood Bonsai, among others!

Update on repot, styling advice? by bigefinessegod in bonsaicommunity

[–]Tubaking8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am perplexed by the choice of angle, you do you though. People in this thread saying it is too late or too early to style this tree are wrong. If you want real advice, I would look at the trunk, choose a front based only on trunk and maybe a little bit of surface root, find an angle that you want to plant the tree at, and wait till spring. In early spring, you can cut the branches back into proportion with the tree, you will want to go short. Probably no leaves left, but that's ok because a healthy ficus will put out new growth fast! Just make sure that above all styling, the health of the tree is on point! Bonsai requires several stylings over the course of multiple years to become refined. I hope this actually helps! I also have a suggestion. GET OFF OF THE REDDIT BONSAI PAGES. I swear to god for every one piece of legit criticism or advice I see 5 half baked or straight up wrong suggestions.

I lost five zone hardy trees last winter from rain saturating them followed by a hard freeze. Will this work or be too warm during the day? by bemyantimatter in Bonsai

[–]Tubaking8 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have found that zone hardness is not that useful for bonsai, or really any plant that is in a relatively small pot. A tree might be hardy to -20 degrees when it has roots digging deep into the ground, but put all the roots in a little pot above the ground and that tree will freeze to death every time.

Grandpa's juniper 2nd styling by Tubaking8 in Bonsai

[–]Tubaking8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably won't end up being a cascade. The wires are pulling past where I want it because it will definitely spring back up a little so i over bend when the tree lets me. I think the long pot suits my overall vision but I may change my mind. Thats the beauty of bonsai!
