I thought we were talking about how to retain water???? You should relax,
dear, I also fertilize with tobacco dust. (HORROR OF HORRORS) It is a well
known fact in Africa, that it keeps insects and fungi away. If you read my
piece without attacking first you would have seen that it also said that you
need to soak the butts to get the nicotine out. We are just as hyper about
chemical insecticides as you are about nicotine and prefer the natural way.

YIKES! I don't worry about your bonsai as much as
you: remember that nicotine is very toxic. Don't any
of your patrons drink coffee? Coffee grounds would be
preferable. At any rate, you should try to make a
compost pile!

I collect old cigarette butts,
