I use it in vegetable gardening, but it produces too many mushrooms for my liking. Veggies grow great though.

Would not touch it with anything in a pot, maybe 5% in a growing bed mix max.

Lol I will steer clear.. this building we finished working on had a lady out there designing the landscape and I saw a bunch of bags of it so it just made me think is all but I have no reason to hold on to that idea as my mix works well for me so far and also I don't need to be planting condoms with my trees

I'd be nervous, that bulk produced stuff has little quality control. A bit of homemade compost with quality ingredients might be worthwhile, I don't know enough to say. My hunch is it's unnecessary - better to go with a quality organic fertiliser

I guess it's a damn good thing that bonsaiists don't do farming. We'd all starve to death.
