To my fellow Torontonians...
I've been searching for days to find proper soil ingredience for my waterlogged bonsai's...
I cant find Haydite, Perlite, lava rock, turface, nor akadama, nothing... Even places that have bonsai in their name have no idea what I'm talking about, and most don't even pick up their phone... So frustrating, can anyone help? I really want to avoid buying online... Adam |

A simple and inexpensive solution is to go to an animal feed store and buy some "Dry Stall"....it's a product, (a kind of expanded clay) which is used to absorb the urine in horse stalls. I regularly use this in my mix for at least two reasons....and I've used it successfully for years. The reasons are, first it absorbs and holds moisture, while allowing the soil mix to drain very readily, and, second, it is very light weight, and since I've been getting older, and finding it harder to lift my larger plants, I mix a greater quantity of the dry stall into my mix and it's lighter weight.
I mix as much as 75% into the mix, (which is a lot), but it works well and meets my needs. A 40 lb. bag should last you a long time. Good Luck. Robert.......in Santa Cruz, Ps: my wife is a "canuk" too, from "L'estrie" in Quebec.
