bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Question on "Boon Mix" soil

I've never really experimented with making my own soil. I've felt that I have to learn the basics of care and maintenance before doing so . . . .

But I now feel confident however that making my own soil is the next best thing in the long term (and financial) interest of my tree's and my hobby. This mix sounds like something that is not only easily put together, but sounds like it has the components of what a good soil needs. I particularly like the addition of the charcoal (assuming the information purported here is accurate).

Thanks for posting!
