[IBC] soil
Brian:
It is not unusual.... As long as the owner knows when to feed the trees, he could even raise Bonsai in coase Builders sand. In fact, I have a Trident Maple that has been growing in just builders sand. If you were to ask a hundred people thoughout the world, who raise Bonsai, you would be hard pressed to find 10 that used the same soil formula. Carl L.

Heis very good in the hobby, a couple hundred trees in all different sizes and mostly wild trees he has dug up himself. He has a number of species that are "impossible", including Manzanita. The one thing that struck me was his soil. He uses 100% pumice. He sifts the fines and filters outlarger than 1/4 inch. I have never read anybody say anything like this. Any thoughts?

[IBC] soil
where can i get "turface" in the oakland/macomb township,mi
don't like paying for shipping I'm certain that SOMEONE here knows which of several Oaklands or Macombs you are referring to (I'm sure "township" is a clue, but you could make it easier to help you). Anyway, look on the web for Turface and its synonyms, Mule Mix, Terra-Green, etc. (there are others, but their names escape me for the nonce. We had a discussion of this subject 2-3 weeks ago, so look in the archives. You can usually find a way to locate local distributors on their web pages -- even if only an e-mail address.
