I started watching this on my phone, and stopped to resume on my desktop. It didn't show in my history. I went back to my phone, definitely watched some, and still, not in history. Almost lost this, but since I didn't fully close the app, I was able to reopen the app and add this to watch later, since youtube doesnt' want me to find you.

I thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial. Before I landed on your utube I had tried 5 others that were not resonating with me. Good info I will use.
thank you soo

“Kitty Pink” from Pets at Home in the UK is pure DE. Unscented, non clumping and retails at £15 for 30 Ltrs. PH is 5.5 so it needs organic material to buffer for some plants!

Nice bro very informative!👌 And yes it does depend on were you live. I use Turface, organic potting mix, perlite, and lava rock . Works real well !

[davidcovington]

All the info in one video was the way to go.
Good stuff! Thanks.
Making a flow chart now from it.

That's awesome you talk about chicken grit. My wife just asked me today if I could use it while we're picking up chicken feed.

Nice video. I'm currently looking into fine bark for cuttings and also pots for some of my larger conifers.

Very Informative video on Bonsai soil Thanks .

[LessTalkMoreDelicious]

Nice, I use organics too (with pumice) ...super dry in SoCal to only use hardcore 100% inorganic mixes (unless you can water 2-3x per day in summer).

[MsSaudm]

Excellent video Yes I have tried the "auto parts store clay" It just turned to mush Avaiod in my opinion Can you please give a link to boones soil " pls thanks

[tropicalheritagebonsaiandl]

thanks for sharing, where to buy the metal chopstick you are using. thanks

[browpetj]

Nice vid. The Tesco 'low dus' cat litter is calcined clay too (molar clay). Pure DE cat litter is rarely available in UK.

[lelloincendiario]

Thanks for a great video....am i correct when i say that the proportion is equal parts of each medium ?

[sheriefkamal]

Dear, I have bought "wonder cat" cat litter to use it in my mix for bonsai soil. I discovered that it has a smell of lavander. can I use it or it will heart the roots

By the way, all hobby stores have plastic mesh that works perfect for bonsai. It's usually sold for hook and loop projects. Very tough, very cheap. Don't use metal screens !

[nycjt]

Thanks for the informative videos. I literally just got into the hobby a week ago. been trying to fill my brain with info. I'm in the market for my first tree (Maple) any advice for a first time buyer?

[silverseto]

When growing a young tree in its early stages of development, like during the time you are trying to develop a thick trunk, would you recommend using a bonsai specific mix?

[lovemusic]

Can i use this mix soil for jade plant(crassula ovata)?

[kestanechesmo]

What about leonardite and zeolite instead of akadama ?
