If this doesn't start a firestorm, nothing wiill.........
NEWBIES, if you don't have a 100 bucks to spend, do not get into bonsai !
Reasons:
1. You need some decent material to start with. not expensive but something with potential.
2. You will need some good bonsai soil (very important)
3. You will need a bonsai pot.
4. You will need some fertilizer.
5. You will need a cheap sheet of plastic mesh from Hobby Lobby
6, You will need some good wire, either copper or alumimum, depending on what speices of material you buy.
7. You will need some basic bonsai tools, don't buy the cheapest, buy in the middle range and they will last you the rest of you life.
Sorry if I forgot anything.
DISCLAIMER:
What I'm telling you is the TRUTH as I know it to be, others will disagree, some may even agree, although I doubt it. But I will promise you this, you will enjoy the hobby a lot more than a Home Depot stick and using you wife's best sewing scissors.
Ciao,
