Hello All—
I was planning on buying a couple of large grow boxes for some trees to thicken trunks for 5 -10 years. What type of soil should I use? Regular well-draining bonsai soil fitting to the species? Or something more organic like one would find if you just planted the trees in the ground?
What do you all recommend? I was thinking about using something like this photo with proper drainage holes in the bottom. The one they actually have at my local garden store is shorter and squattier and lends itself better to bonsai.
