Well, thanks for the idea (and name (Non-sai! I love it! (I also love bracket stacking))), Auk.
And, so, a thread was opened where people come to post their most ridiculous attempts at bonsai, either for marketing or experimentation (or anything else really).
First off, though, I'd like to make an important announcement. I'm afraid that... Wow, this is hard to say... BONSAI NEW EASY METHOD has been deleted from YouTube, and the channel itself has also been deleted.
NO! You must be joking!
I am a bit of a masochist, I admit it. I sometimes listen to songs like this
with a stopwatch in my hand, timing how long I can manage before it hurts too much.
Likewise, I've been going through LOADS of the 'New Easy Method' videos. I must have seen almost all of them (though I admit that I did start skipping parts after I'd seen a few, they all are the same). It was amazing to see how messy and sloppy his results were - and the enormous amount of problems he actually had planting everything he encountered in pure sphagnum moss only. Bugs, roaches, root problems... a video where he showed loads of dead/dying trees after a cold period, his bonsai pots, and the video where he baked them... and when he opened the oven, they were in small pieces, his coconut bonsai, his papaya bonsai... and his juniper from the very first video, that survived, but hadn't made any progress in his last video, some 10 or more years later... the real bonsai he purchased... and ruined, painful to watch.
All he had was ugly, leggy sticks in pots with bad root systems.
And then the reactions of people finding his rubbish wonderful, that went through all the videos to learn something.
I think that was the most amazing part of it. I guess he was telling something people simply want to hear: You can grow beautiful bonsai easily (demonstrating an actually not so easy, not so good method, producing horrible results...)
I think it is good it's gone. I won't miss it.
Yes, I do nest my brackets (sometimes, not always (except when necessary, when programming :~)))
