Hi all, well it's time to repot some of my Chinese Elms & was wondering what would be the best to use. Last year I repotted my wifes Gray Bark Elm in a mix of levingtons Bonsai compost which I get from my local garden centre & 4mm grit & sharp sand, the tree seams to be fine & is growing well. Is there a better mix I can use which won't cost the earth ie a compost & cat litter mix ?Sadly I'm unable to work due to health problems so money is always very tight for us & perhaps some would say that Bonsai is'nt for us really but in just over a year taking it up we are really enjoying it
Sorry I forgot to add I live in the N/E of the UK where it can be really wet & cold but during the summer (when we get it lol) can be rather warm & I have to water the trees twice a day to stop them drying out
