Part One: Herb Gustafson

 

I am new to the art of bonsai, but I'm learning a lot.  Mostly by reading a lot of really good books on the subject, and a little by doing.  This lens will be about one of the authors of these books that I have come to enjoy so much.  Not a full biography, just a little info about him and his books.  I wasn't born knowing how to create nice bonsai, but with the help of these books, I can do it...and so can you...and you...and you over there in the corner.  I intend to do lenses on a few other bonsai artists after this one.

Chemical sprays method of pest control is simple and effective. However, some have concerns about the use of laboratory-made chemicals to get rid of garden pests. Organic pest control does provide a natural method of controlling pests.

About grandma_deal

Hello world. I'm a xx-year-old grandmother. I have one cute husband, one fine son, one lovely daughter, six(yes, six)wonderful grandchildren and one dog.
My favorite project is crocheting hats which I give to people at the Day Center for the Homeless in Tulsa. Please check out my website: http://www.hatsforhomeless.com to see how you can help with this project.
I like watching movies on pay-per-view at home with my husband. Also, I enjoy taking the grandchildren to the library and museums. When the weather is pleasant, we go to a park where they can go really wild, as children love to do.
