Soil for germination
I am planning to plant a Baobab Tree, Brazilian Rain Tree, and a Chinese
Elm. For each I am going to *eventually* use akadama & grit as soil (inorganic). Is this soil safe to use to germinate the trees? Or would an organic mix be better? Thank you Brian |

Association of British Bonsai 2006 Calendars / Japanese scroll
My apologies if anyone regards this as Spam, but it's definitely bonsai related and all proceeds go towards helping the Association meet it's aims over the coming years... The Association of British Bonsai Artists proudly presents its 2006 calendar. This calendar comes as a set of individual high quality photographs, together with a genuine Japanese paper scroll. The photographs are of some of the UK's finest bonsai, from the 2004 Bonsai UK Exhibition. The scroll, which was sourced directly from Japan, can also be used to hold images of your own trees, or it can hold traditional Japanese images and used as part of a tokonoma. Limited to 200 copies, this is already becoming a real collectors item for bonsai enthusiasts, and will make a fantastic Christmas present!!! This is probably your last chance to get hold of one in time for Christmas, and it's only available from the Association itself or via the following URL on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...rd=1&sspage n ame=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1 Don't miss out..these are selling fast!!! Thanks for reading Mike Bennett http://www.bonsaiartists.co.uk |

This soil would be fine, but expensive. I'd germinate seeds in 80% sand, 10 % "normal" potting soil with peat in it. Actually *I* would use some old, used bonsai soil that I have laying around. :-) Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect - Aldo Leopold - A Sand County Almanac |
