I also look at it as cheap material to learn on seeing as how I'm a noob. It also serves as something I wouldn't be as concerned about being aggressive with (cuts/bends etc) Unfortunately the amount of bonsai soil I will need to come up with will quickly get expensive, main reason I'm looking for an affordable alternative.Very true, and a good point.

Survival is not all that important to me.
