G'day Mikey...
Barbara's suggestion of Brent's (evergreengardenworks) article is very good...
However, here's one that I think is better...it is 13 pages from a Tom Zane Syllabus.
Thirteen pages, with drawings, of how to bo a forest planting. It is a pdf file...
Look at pages 72-85.

This just might be good enough to make you want to start over.
Remember, Mikey, bonsai is a trip that demands time and patience...welcome aboard, and enjoy the journey.
Did I mention "patience"?
