I recently purchased four trees from a guy on my local Craigslist. The soil mix that he used seems to drain very well and still retain a lot of moisture. From looking at it, it seems to be a mix of fine gravel, soil and some sort of clay. I have never seen akadama up close so I am wondering if akadama holds moisture well. He seemed to have done a bit of his homework with the bonsai hobby from the brief discussion that we had when I picked them up. So I could see him getting akadama or some other clay sub straight from Dallas bonsai or another online score. Just wondering your guys thoughts on this.
