Matt: I have not had any problem starting seeds in fine bonsai soil or on a good red wood humis.
Black pine Celtis Chinese rain tree Carob are all started in bonsai soil.
Maple and elms are started on red wood humis.
All Oaks are pre sprouted and then planted directly into growing beds.
Most everything else that we are playing with is started from cuttings.
Right now the only thing that I am having trouble with is umai but I will keep at them until I succede.
I do not like spagum moss peat or vermiculite for starting seeds or cuttings. But that is just me and I can be incorrect.
