Hello Al,

As an extremely inexperienced Newbie of 154 days, [cough!] I read encouragement in your words, not carte blanche. As an experimentalist I understand the concept of trial and error, but the potential for success is levitated by acquiring as much data as possible prior to each experiment (ie. homework). Reading and participating in this forum for example is an excellent way to supplement my data. Already, many of the names I see in this discussion are familiar responders to some of my questions.

I also spend as much of my free time in the outdoors as possible and I have a respect for the beauty of natural things. I plan on taking this respect into each Bonsai experiment I undertake and hopefully 'kill' as few trees as possible.

Thanks all for sharing your lessons and thoughts.

B.
