I had no idea that Shady Side Bonsai was near PA. I've looked at their web site many times but there is no information as to their location. Guess I'll email them and ask.
I am about 10 miles from Rosade's and do go there often. Jim's is two hours away and I'll be going there for the first time this coming April 4th for a workshop with Walter Pall (real excited about that).
On obtaining soil materials: I was suggesting the need to really search all possibilities. Local places to check are any and all landscaping, lawn, turf, nursery companies and suppliers. Some may be appear wholesale but will sell small quantities or a find a smaller company that will order a few bags for you.
If you only need a small quatity then the extra cost of shipping may not be too great.
The other thing I've found is that the supply (of say Turface MVP) can change. I found some once but the next time I went there they had another product that had much more fines than MVP (I got about a 50% yield after sieving) but was claimed as being the same.
Thanks,
