Have been trying to access the following series of posts for months, without success:

RE: Trees from the sedum plant

Each time I click on this link, the following error msg comes up:

Oops something went wrong!

Either the site is offline or an unhandled error occurred. We apologize and have logged the error. Please try your request again or if you know who your site administrator is let them know too.

Obviously, the site is not offline all the time!

I have sent several emails to Kalmbach in this regard and have not been successful in getting the people there to understand what “my” problem is, even though they have responded to my emails.

Has anyone else had a problem with these posts?

Sure would be nice to get some sort of resolution to this (at least for me).

I had the same experience - the thread shows up as a search result but any effort to click on any of the hits gets that error message. There is another thread on sedum that might find info you need but frankly, a number of aspects of the site seem to work less well in recent weeks.

If you put sedum into the search box to the right, you’ll come up with several threads that discuss sedum and the making of trees from them. It was interesting to see that only thread that could not be accessed was the one to which you referred. That thread started around September 2003. However, there is another thread that started that same month concerning preserving sedum that is accessible.

Is it possible that the missing thread somehow got deleted because of some controversy that was found to be offensive (i.e.: sedum has the wrong type of couplers; sedum is an MTH product; sedum boxcars have pizza cutter wheels; sedum uses an MRC decoder; sedum contains elements found to cause cancer in California; sedum won’t run well on DC; etc.)?

I too h ave been having some small issues lately. My biggest one is that the responses to my own posts don’t always show up on my email, even though they are listed as enabled.

I went through my archives, I had a sedum question last fall, brought it up to current date for you, as I am not computer savy enough to tell you how to find it otherwize.

Hope it helps, Mr B and Terry have some nice photos and there are a number of other good comments.

Good luck,

Thx to all who’ve responded. Thx Cowman for posting your info.

I have “collected” much info on sedum trees, but was disappointed that a link still appears on the forum, with many responses, that doesn’t function.

I’m always looking out for that “little secret info/technique” that can improve my results, whatever the subject.

Too many people have “been there, done that” to bypass some gem of wisdom.

Thx again.

There have definitely been some changes in the forums lately, several things not going as they used to.

I forgot to mention (because I only skimmed the photos when I brought the thread up to datel WM’s site gives wonderful advice on both using sedum and puff ball trees. I have them printed out to follow when I go to work on the trees. (Sedm currently still on the drying rack.) The only thing I would do different is for the puff ball trees, I went to a quilt shop and got a dark quilt batt. This eliminates the need to take your puff balls outside to spray them a dark color. A little more expensive, but saves the step of smelly painting. A bigger Wal-Mart or Michaels might have the dark poly fiber, my local cheapy sources did not.

Good luck,
