Pat: Light means just that; relatively light weight soil mix with lots of
air space as described. Soil mixes must drain easily for bonsai to thrive.
A heavy compacted soil would hold moisture too long and cause root rot and
other ills.

G'day all...
Alan...Jim...You refer to light/heavy soil mixes. I know that you don't
mean to put them on a scale...but, for the newer folks, would you define
light and heavy?
Have a good day...
Pat
