The other I don't like is their triple screened professional mix. It isn't a uniform mix and there are some pretty large pieces. Not really what I am looking for either.

Now, the two I do like are the master's shohin mix. This stuff is awesome for mame and shohin bonsai. Its uniform in size, looks great, and retains water well, but still dries out quickly. I really like this stuff for my smaller bonsai.

For my main soil i have been using their (fortunately) cheapest soil. Their plain old double screened soil is really great stuff in my opinion. Yeah, its expensive, but I only have a few tree's so its not a big deal yet.
