If substrate has suppieor draning to potting soil, than why not use substrate in flour beds and raised gardens instead of potting soil?

In some areas coupled with the right type(s) of plants it could be... Along with proper maintenance and care.

Yes,but substrate will dry quick and still drain much better in a man Made container not barried on the ground
(I was assuming a gzrdsn being in a man made container with drain holes and but barried in the ground, sorry, thought it was clear with "above vrond garden"

Who says you can't? My teacher recycles used bonsai soil in a series of raised beds he has. He has grow beds terraced down a little hill, where he fattens up JBP, shimpaku, quince, etc. He even grows tomatoes in the summer!

He sifts the good soil out for use in the grow beds.

He always uses fresh substrate for bonsai.

I challenge you, to cover an eye and on the third day , do EVERUTHING you would do in your typical day.
And I bet you will no take the challenge.
Whatever, whomever. I could be totally blind, but unless I told you, you would have no way of knowing you might be violating my safe space with your micro aggressions. Grow up, learn how to spell(check), and be prepared to take a little ribbing if you expect to receive help in a loosely moderated forum that relies nearly entirely on written communication.

You can apparently read just fine, you might start with reading a little before starting another soil thread.

Our grow troughs are made like Bonsai soil, with additions of 5 mm inorganic.
Grows everything well, vegetables or Bonsai wannabes.
Good Day
