Question Question About Soil

Well i have some questions about how to make your own soil. Most of the time i just buy it from a nursery already made. But i would like to know how you can make your own. The stuff that i use is made up of 70% aggregate hadite and fired clay, and 30% screened pine bark with micro nutrients. If anyone could give me some tips it would be very helpful. THANKS A LOT

Howdy.
There's a whole section on soils and fetilizers here in Bonsaitalk. Check there for info:

bonsaiTALK Forum > Ask Dr. Bonsai > Bonsai Soils, Fertilizer & Repotting

There's a thread called "Gimme that recipe your so proud of..." that's interesting.

Geodude,
Good suggestion i like that thread!

Stick,
Sounds like you are on the right track with soil components. Are you having trouble or why do you want to change. Or are you curious or... just making "bonsaitalk"?
