Why Did Drought Turn Creeping Thyme Into A Weed Invasion?
Posted ...
Drought has a talent for exposing every weak point in a garden, rather like a very judgemental auditor with a fondness for dust. Creeping thyme had once knitted the gaps between the beds into a low, fragrant carpet. Then came a hard dry spell, and much of it simply gave up. Perennial plants, it turns out, are committed, not indestructible.   Read more >

Latest website audit from our spider

  spider  
Our web spider - powered with AI - can identify good and bad points of each site it visits. Below you'll find a random selection of sites our spider has recently visited, along with its notes on what it has found. The reason we show you these spider audits is to help give you ideas on how you can improve your own website.

shibuibonsai.com.au

  analysed on 11 September 2026

1. What the site is about (purpose)

Shibui Bonsai is a bonsai-focused website run by Neil Padbury. Its purpose is to help visitors discover and buy field-grown pre-bonsai and bonsai starters, and to share knowledge and progress updates about developing bonsai (including specialty “root over rock” techniques). The site also promotes upcoming bonsai events and workshops/demonstrations where trees and catalogues may be available.

2. Good points / trust signals found in the text

  • Clear product focus: “Growers of Pre Bonsai and Bonsai Starters” and repeated mentions of “catalogues” and “available for sale”.
  • Evidence of ongoing work: multiple dated posts (e.g., 2024–Jan 2026), showing consistent content and updates such as “New catalogues” and “Root over Rock” development progress.
  • Direct, personal author voice: first-person updates explain delays and current stock limitations, which can increase credibility (e.g., trees not re-established to ship yet).
  • Willingness to answer queries: encourages emailing for missing items (“just email and tell me which category you would like to see”).
  • Concrete purchasing guidance: mentions delivery costs, shipping constraints (especially weight), and alternative arrangements (e.g., pick-up preferred; discuss delivery options).
  • Event-based assurance: explains trade space and opportunities to view/order without delivery fees at conventions (AABC National Convention, Bonsai by the Harbour).
  • Specialist expertise: detailed technical explanations and step-by-step guides (e.g., grafting pines) and practical development notes.
  • Published prices/examples: posts include “priced at” amounts for older bonsai, giving visitors an idea of value.
  • Email contact shown: explicit email address: neil@shibuibonsai.com.au.

3. Improvements to help visitors (based on the text)

  • Clarify “About / Contact” details: the content references “Contact Us” but the provided text doesn’t show an address, phone number, or business hours. Add these on the contact/about pages (not only email).
  • Make catalogue availability more explicit: posts state catalogues “should be live” and that some items are missing/out of date (e.g., “Prunus catalogue is out of date”). Add a clear “Last updated” date and a short “Known omissions” section on the catalogue page.
  • Standardize stock status: visitors would benefit from consistent labels like “Available / Limited / Not re-established yet” rather than relying on narrative explanations.
  • Provide a simple ordering process: summarize steps (browse catalogue ? email request ? reserve ? payment/confirm availability ? shipping/pick-up options). The text explains elements, but not a single consolidated process.
  • Consolidate key policies: shipping/delivery fees, pick-up options, and handling constraints (e.g., very heavy root-over-rock) should be in one clear FAQ rather than scattered across posts.
  • Reduce reliance on “ask for photos”: where possible, include more complete listings in the catalogue posts (multiple views, key measurements, and any known issues/ongoing styling notes).
  • Improve discoverability of specialty content: many posts explain ROR, grafting, and flowering species. Add a dedicated “Root over Rock” and “Guides/Techniques” page that indexes the most useful how-to posts.
