Right! In fact even with a perfectly draining soil with no bark 1/8" holes wouldn't work: the meniscus effect would hold the water in the pot.

By the way: I have come to the conclusion that the bark used here in the US is not a good ingredient for bonsai soil, and i stopped using it a few years ago. But that's probably another thread in another forum.
