[IBC] Question and advice please ... Bonsai Soil
Several questions for the group if I may .... learning curve in progress.
Bonsai "soil" .... I would like to try my hand at making my own mix if possible .. A. I have found several recipes in books and on line ... go with what is "local" type soil for your area and a close match to the trees needs ??? B. Sifted / graded soil .... I'm sure I can locate by mail order a set of "Sifters" to grade out the mix as per all the books I have read so far ... Is there a brand / type that the group has found that works well and does not cost two arms and a leg ? OR ... I "may" be able to locate the approximate sizes of hardware cloth I need to make my own ... 1/8" .. 1/4" .. 1/2" C. Is Aquarium gravel good to use in the bottom of the pots ? OK .. enough for now ... more questions to follow for sure.
