Thanks Aman!
I don't count actually.
But with simple compositions like the one above, it took me less than an hour.
I just pick what ever rock is available in my garden and try to see/imagine what will it look like.
Then everyday I read books and other sources related to bonsai. and sometimes what what is more time consuming is talking to people and giving advice from tools inquiry to tree design, because most of the time simple inquiries turn into a very lengthy chitchats on bonsai hehehe.
...maybe the same time consumed by the people who took apprenticeship in Japanese garden. The only diference is that I can do classical bonsai and weird bonsai and sometimes out of this world bonsai without people telling me what to do.
And we are not counting the regular bonsai chores like watering...hehe.

Re: Small landscape
Thanks John!
The tree species is "Murraya"
You need to make a thicker mock for this type of planting. if the space between/ crevices rocks on the rocks are not sufficient for root growing, you need to create bigger mound, in this case you need fine nets in several layers to hold roots and soil in place. then cover with moss.

Hi jun. morning.
What kind of net are these? does it needs to be organic in order to decay with time?

Adriano,
Thin ones, like fishing nets, here we have lots used for garden shades, some are plastic nylons some are not. need not be in organic form. medical bandage or gauze will work too. I Got the idea from soil erosion control using abaca and coco fiber- I just turned it into small scale...

WHY???
sample below of tree under the same principle. Do you think these guys are forever watering too?
If you would compare the size of the trees to the soil volume, these trees should be dead in less than a week...but they are not. And my planting got more soil volume to tree size ratio than these plantings.
The same horticultural knowledge and principles are being applied in all our works, and future works will be repeated again under the same ideas. we have just to be more imaginative in the creativity part to be different.
...sometimes people's creativity are limited because of pessimism.

Jun,
I was amazed with the way you create this masterpiece. Im a bit curious though on how you do about the use of fine nets that holds the roots and soil in place? Does the net covers the entire volume of soil/roots or is it placed under the soil, between the crevices of rocks and soil?
Would appreciate if you could elaborate the procedure further. Thank you. btw, im newbie to this art.
Kind regards,

Watering
Jun, from what you said earlier in this post I understand that you do not water these more than a normal tree (once a day, twice in the summer?). I assume that the moss helps you keep the water "locked in" to the soil, so it evaporates more slowly? Are there any other tricks to keeping it moist throughout the day? What kind of soil are you using for plantings like this?
