Re: 10 Commandments Of Bonsai

One of the commandments was "Make thine own soil".
Is it really that important? I buy it in volume from a dealer and like what I get. He's a great source of info and tools and is a bonsai enthusiast. He lists all the ingredients and makes different soils for different plants.
Certainly I have broken many of the Lord's Big Ten already, and I'm somewhat dismayed to be obliviously breaking someone elses 10.
If I were to start making my own where do I start? Some of the ingredients sound hard to find or would have to be bought in volume.
I await the voices from the burning bush (or perhaps the voiced from the little trees).

If you like what you are buying and it works for you then WHY CHANGE . Just because seems like a silly reason ;o) |
