Could you tell me where I could find information on Boon's soil
recipes?

Earlier in the thread I wrote:
Boon's mixes are (1) equal parts of akadama, lava rock & pumice for
conifers, and (2) 2 parts akadama, 1 part lava rock & 1 part pumice for
deciduous trees. Boon also adds a little each of decomposed granite and
charcoal. I haven't started to use DG or charcoal, but I probably will.
Also, Carl Bergstrom, a Boon student (or Student Of Boon, SOB, as we
sometimes refer to ourselves) had a lengthy thread in the Main Gallery
on February 9, 2005, titled The Importance of Proper Soil. He discussed
what his experience was with Boon's soil & showed many images.
Jim, who does as Boon says (well..... mostly)
