There's a great very noticable decrease in the amount of water my bonsai are now consuming, compared to only a month ago when leaves and branches were in full growth. I would have expected to have noticed this before - but since my switch to pine-bark it's very obvious. Anyone else noticed this?

Now that's a problem we don't have...and I really pity those who do.
