Default [IBC] soil

What kind of soil is best when re-potting? Can one use just
regular potting
soil?


No. Commercial potting soil stays too wet and soggy for bonsai.
You want a mix of coarse sand, clay granules, and a organic
material like bark.

Go to our FAQ -- www.internetbonsaiclub.org -- and read the essay
about soil. I'm sure that Brent has a soil article at
www.evergreengardenworks.com also.
