[IBC] collecting
Peter: I don't know of any potting soils made for trees and shrubs,
except for bonsai mixes. As long as you put those newly collected specimens in the ground or a very large raised growing bed, your potting mix should be fine, but for container growing, you really need a well draining, coarse mix. Alan Walker http://bonsai-bci.com http://LCBSBonsai.org -----Original Message----- From: Peter K. Is there anything wrong with using a good quality potting mix, maybe even one specifically made for trees and shrubs, for newly collected specimens? i'll be digging a few big guys this spring and i'm not sure if i can afford to buy enough supplies to make the necessary amounts of bonsai soil. The plants are getting ripped out if i don't dig them up so waiting longer isn't an option. thanks everybody.
