I have no experience with use to share...YET. I stumbled upon this 5,1,1 and have become intrigued with it. I ordered "1/4 inch Pine Bark Fines" by Bonsai Jack thru Amazon. I'll be mixing up my first batch today. I've no idea what to expect or how deep I'll play with his 5,1,1 home made soil. I intent to post more.
