First of all I dont have any idea in the soil that most of you are using...or may i say i dont know what it is or what it is made of like peat moss, etc....may be becuase fo the terms they are using....or may be they are not available here.

So i decided to write all the items that i can gather and afford for you to suggest what will i use and how many of it...By the way im in the Philippines and I have only 2 kinds of plant...Juniper precumbens nana and Ficus benjamina..

1) pure soil
2) lava rock( how small should it be)
3)sand and some small particles fo stone used in aquariums...
4)crushed gravel
5)charcoal(dont know why i include it)
6)black earth( dont know what it is but they are selling it to me or if its good to use)

This is it...I cant afford to buy ready bonsai soil like akadama its too expensive here in the philippines and very seldom

im open for suggestions here using only these for my bonsai....and please be specific in measurement so that i can do it right....(its look like a test from all of you to make a good bonsai soil mix using only this components)

ill be waiting for your answer..thanks in advance..
