So how long? Kidding! Great video as always. You should come to Australia and run some workshops down here!

@GrahamWPotter Great, thanks! Now that I think about it, I guess I have only used aluminum for tie down wire. But I have used little scraps of copper for keeping the drainage screens in place at the bottom of a pot. I guess I'll have to quit doing that.

Love it. keep up the good work. We all need it. Thanks
I had a question about your comment that you shouldn't leave those little chunks of wire on your soil because they can leach aluminum or copper oxide into the soil. Then what about the tie down wire we use to secure the tree in its pot? Wouldn't that do the same thing? (this is an honest question, I'm not trying to be a smart ass)

@DJotterfield Aluminum wire is coated and so no bare aluminum will come into contact with the soil. Once the tree is well rooted the wire can be removed. Copper wire should NOT be used for securing trees into pots it oxidized very quickly in constantly damp soil.
