Question taking bonsai from nature?

Hello to all,
my neighbor has two little blue spruce baby trees that are growing in a part of his yard he will be re-scaping. They are appx. 8-10inches tall. I asked him if I could have the trees for bonsai. He is O.K with it, he would have just killed them. If I am removing a tree from nature, what kind of soil should I use? I am going to build a growing bed(thanks to bonsai talk) and re-plant them in it for the next couple years. Can I use standard bonsai mix or will I have to take some of his dirt/soil to plant them in?

Also, has anyone had success with colorado blue spruce bonsai?

Thanks
