When I see the term "living sculptures" used to describe bonsai, I see the emphasis as being on "living".

And, that goes for the soil as well.

Well if they work for you Fred then that is great. The only true test is, after all, how well your trees grow.
But I really need to throw something in here. Just for fun mind you.
But if your such a naturalist then what do you use for a bonsai pot. After all what most of us use isn't all that natural for the tree to grow in. )
The mind boggles at this picture I have floating in my silly little mind.
Hope you get the joke !!!
