League around the cross obtained a weft yarn, pulling it well. Immerse so this part in a basin of water until the uprights will not become flexible.

Now you need to turn up the posts. To do this operation, during the processing with three wires, controls the size of the diameter of the lid, and when this will be wider than the edge of two turns, bends the uprights to the limit of the plot. Curve uprights and piegali right angle upwards.

To weave the edge, cut the three strands of plot and cominciane a new one with two wires each riser passes behind another on his left

In this way, you can either change color to create decorative effects details, or even give greater dynamism to the whole changing material.

Steps:

When you see that the raffia begins to shrink more than the main plot, you have to cut the two tails to 5 inches apart. Provide then wrap a wire around a new mast and lavoralo together to queues that you previously cut. Do not include interweaving the old wires that are located inside of the work. Then changes the color of the weft thread main following the same procedure, but only on the initial upright.

If you want to get another effect, much more particularly, which is to move to weave from two to three weft yarns, add the thread indicated by the letter C in the drawing below to the right of the A and B wires to the initial upright. To do instead the inverse operation, ie switch from three to two strands of straw, dropping one of the wires inside the drum, cut and continue your braiding using two wires.

To change the color instead of the weft thread when you're already changing the wire, you will need to pay more attention because it is not an easy work begins by wrapping the wire around the pole of the new color initial and then rolls up the two colors together

Drop old color later in the basket and fill the newly inserted If during these grafts see that no wires are woven fine, bagnali well with warm water to soften them.

Since the advent of synthetic ice (also called ecological ice) in the 60s, its evolution has been dramatic, even to reach a 95% similarity with conventional ice. In addition, its use is rampant among many domestic courts, where power consumption is a major handicap. In this sense, the English Federation of Skating (National Ice Skating Association of UK) approved and recommends these tracks for use. Among the advantages of synthetic ice rinks is that assembly and maintenance are very cheap, as it requires no power consumption, to which must be added that talk of a 100% recyclable material.

Develops various ground surfaces, generally of asphalt, concrete, terrazzo floors, which in turn may have a surface layer of plastic material whereby the game becomes a game really difficult (polyurethane), (resin) synthetic, etc.). The skating (wheel) can develop in specific locations, such as tracks or circuits, or in unspecified locations enabled for the occasion (as with streets and roads in the distance events).

Roller skates can be of two types: the classic, also known as quad, which has four wheels arranged in pairs in two axes, and the (inline skate), which has a provision similar to ice skates, replacing the a guide blade for holding a variable number of wheels (three to five) placed one after the other. These wheels have a diameter varying between 43 and 110 mm, may be the case of guides designed to accommodate various sized wheels. In the early (2000) used a variant of clap skates that is currently unused.

Watering is an important step for the survival and development of bonsai it is outside, inside or orangery. The excess or lack of water is fatal.

No frequency is established, but an observation of the substrate and the tree can detect the right time.

Generic method

For watering bonsai, we often speak of "drench". Unrelated to a bowl or pot is put inside. It is watered by sprinkling (with a watering can with apple) from the top of the tree so that the water runs off the leaves before reaching the pot, and then flows through the drainage holes.

This method allows the cleaning of various leaves and prevents infestations (mites inside) harmful to the tree. Water only the substrate if the tree is in bloom. Avoid watering in full sun and too thoroughly.

Watering type substrate "soil" and equivalent bit draining

This type of substrate becomes hydrophobic when it lacks a bit of moisture. If it is kept constantly moist, the roots rot and the tree dies.

For mid-season (spring / fall) generic watering is usually sufficient. For summer, the dry soil quickly.

It should rehydrate putting the pot in a bowl and fill it without pour water on the ground, but around the bush. The water should flush the outer rim. Rehydration is finished when the water rises naturally into the pot. Take it out and drain. Resume normal watering until the next rehydration necessary. This method takes time. For a tree, it should, but as the number increases, the run time explodes.

Choose a draining substrate is important for the quality of irrigation and tree growth.

For example, 20 medium bonsai  (20-30cm high) in 100% compost requires two hours of watering. 40 same size bonsai in one-drained (pozzolan 90% + 10% soil) requires an hour.
