People use both forms to sprinkle on the soil. The DG has a lime base carrier as well as a baked soil. Its made for sprinkling on soil and watering in. However, others use the EG form similar to the DG - sprinkle on the surface and water it in. Not trying to make this confusing, but there is probably one that most people use in bonsai culture as a granular and water it in. Since the DG is clay and lime based I don't know if it should be used for bonsai. The lime in the DG can make to soil basic, increase the pH. The EG is designed to mix in water first, it dissolves, and then applied. Both are granular. Im just wanting to know which one it is and what most people use.
BTW, I read the spec sheets and directions.
