Acero inizia a seccare

Acero inizia a seccare

Un mese fa ho comprato un bellissimo acero, foglie splendide e turgide.
Posizionato in balcone dove prende un'oretta di sole al mattino, e poi sempre ombra.

E' ancora nel suo mastello di plastica, il tipo che me l'ha venduto mi ha detto di non travasare almeno fino ad ottobre, per cui ha il suo terriccio con cui me lo hanno venduto. Inizialmente lo strato superiore era ricoperto di foglie secche o qualcosa di simile. Siccome nei giorni scorsi c'è stato vento un po' forte e mi è sembrato che si muovesse un po' troppo (all'interno del suo vaso, era come se si strappasse dalla terra) ho rinforzato il terriccio esistente aggiungendo (accando alle pareti del vaso) il terriccio che io ho a casa (dela Vigorplant), semplicemente per minimizzare i movimenti dell'albero.

Mi sono assentato qualche giorno, è rimasto sul suo balcone e questo è il risultato: secco soprattutto in cima. Sono molto preoccupato e molto molto triste. La mia tentazione sarebbe quella di inondarlo d’acqua.

cosa devo fare? devo travasare? devo concimare? devo riempirlo d'acqua?

What’s the deal with Nalgene?

I understand in the US everyone is deeply in love with Nalgene water bottles. To me, they look as any other hard plastic bottle.
I switched first to soft flask and then to camel reservoir in the backpack. I still use hard bottles, but those are thermos to keep the liquid warm.
What makes Nalgene so special for you? People talk and write about it like if there is something special or secret

Didn’t have the chance to see it live, but looking at the pictures I am not sure I understand how the bottom side straps work.

It seems they are behind the pockets attached at the hip belt?

Or are they independent from the belt?

Can you fasten them or are they simply a loop to keep the poles in place, without tightening them?

Was thinking that sun hoodies are the solutions, then I discovered by chance that Rab has the same Sonic long sleeve but rather than hoody has quarter zip

I guess it is exactly the same as the hoody right?

Do also other brands have light breathable wicking first layer? What would you recommend? For sun hoody the most recommended are OR Echo and MH Crater Lake.

So yesterday I was asking about hard boots, forgetting that my current soft boots might also play a role. I have been using these for years now, and they still give me marks and bruises on my shines. Two symmetrical marks on my shins.

Has any tried the new Northwave Domain 2 spin ?

What are other stiff, low volume and comfortable boots for splitting?

usual wknd trips with skiers only, struggled to keep the tempo and also on massive traverses where I had to use rampant. Always the last one. When i make it to the top (if ever) they have finished the break and it's time to go down. And not even mentioning the long flats on the way down. It seems it is more common here in Europe vs US, where from your videos i see better powder and more vertical terrain, where you probably have shorter laps and re-skinn during the same day, while here is one long way up and one down only.

So I am thinking of moving, despite everyone suggesting to move to skis (which I am not interested). And I saw these:

SPLITPIN - DER SOFTE SPLITBOARD HARDBOOT - SAISON 2024/2025

Alpenglow on Splitpin

it seems these are the usual variation on Atomic/Dalbello

How would you compare these to KeyEquipment? any other insight is highly appreciated
