I don’t want to open a can of worms to start a soil debate, but let’s talk soil.
I have some collected deciduous trees that are going into large grow boxes. Based on rough calculations they will hold almost 4 gallons of soil. So roughly $40 in general bonsai soil depending where I buy it. I have a quite a few trees to repot
Over the last 30 years I have grown a lot of different plants and trees. I have traditionally used peat, perlite, sand and vermiculite as substrates in nursery pots.
What are my options here? I can see where peat stays too wet. I can see where perlite floats to the top over time. I need a good soil without breaking the bank for prebonsai. Please help
