Bonsai Jack Inorganic soil mix

[Rid]

BJ's premix includes "bonsai block" and "Monto Clay." (along with lava and pumice) I guess these are the same as turface, or very similar - would this mean that this soil does not break down and could be reusable?

I use the Bonsai Block regularly. I am very satisfied with the product. I don’t classify Bonsai Block as the same as Turface. It’s different to me. It has not broken down over the last five years of use and is reusable.

Monto Clay is a Turface type product but the name has to be different due to copyrights I believe. I don’t know much about this product other than what’s on BJs website.

Bonsai Jack is excellent to work with...online and over the phone. I have not been disappointed at all.

Yes, you can reuse it for sure. I used the organic, two of the components can be reused. I think the value is good.

Agree with @Tieball
Bonsai Block holds much less water than Monto Clay, in my experience. I've used two gallons of each, so take that for what it's worth.
I will say with certainty that Bonsai is visually striking, and makes an excellent top dressing.

Lava....Pumice....and an additional thing like bark.....golden.

How do you separate the bark from the other two?
