I know that some of you will be shocked and others inspired by this empowering knowledge.

Many thanks for sharing this preview with us Lindsay. This is a very interesting technique and well worth considering with young stock. Field growing would accelerate the process no doubt as long as design is monitored. Perhaps a raised bed might be better to save our backs. This might be one of Japans best kept secrets, up until now.

I can't wait to see the translated version. Its fascinating to see how the trees grow around the wire. Its nice to see the professionals have a bone yard too!

For those of us unable to attend the RT with Mr. Farr, where might the video password be available?

Steve soon as I finish the script...tonight most likely, tomorrow at the latest

As expressed before, I would also like to thank Lindsay Farr for his time, advice, and insight! It was a great discussion and something special to be granted the special preview. I cant wait to see it with subtitles as I think the end of the video or the "boneyard" as called by weeble could possibly detail some mistakes made using the techniques as well as drawbacks or remidies. Im sure to be successful with the technique we will need to have a bit of troubleshooting insight!

Just remember, the Japanese won't tell you everything, there will almost always be important tidbits to be devined through experience. John
