[IBC] Pre-Bonsai Soil
I have a question on bonsai soil. I understand the concepts of the soil
you would use in a "bonsai pot", good drainage etc. I buy my bonsai soil pre-made, it's cheap when you're only using it in small bonsai pots. What do you use on your pre-bonsai? Large containers, 5 gallons or more. Five gallons of pre-mixed bonsai soil is expensive. I was using potting soil, but I lost a lot of trees this winter. We had a VERY cold winter in Connecticut. A lot of other things other than the potting soil may have contributed to the death of my plants in training. What I started using this spring, after the harsh winter is a 50/50 mix of turface mvp and pine bark mulch, do you think that's fine for LARGE training pots?
