Feeling less amateur...
Today I'm feeling a little less amateur. How? It will probably sound kinda stupid, however, it worked for me.
For the first time today, I sifted my own soil with some new sieves I recently purchased. I wanted to give it a shot and had a brand new bag of Oil-Dri I wanted to try out. Besides purchasing some plant material, driving my wife crazy with all my purchases, and reading a lot of books, this is probably the most advanced bonsai activity I've performed. Like I said, it sounds stupid, even corny, but I really do feel like I'm more "into" the hobby (a.k.a. obsession) then I have been since I became really interested about a year and a half ago.
