Thanks Jason. That is useful. Nicely explained. I’ve been thinking about those issues and what I might do in the Australian spring/summer later this year.
Thanks. Any hard physical barrier that prevents the roots escaping downwards will work just as well. For a permanent growing bed they are a good choice. Good luck with your pines.
Hello Jason, great video, and always beautiful fish. Any tips for success in making a larch forest?? I'm going to try next weekend with Dave from Dave's Bonsai. Ice finally gone from my pond, and the resident ducks are back, and our Jack russell hates them.
Good luck with your larch forest. I have had mixed success - a larger one which was ok in the first year but dried out and died in the second year, and a smaller 5 tree one that was sat next to it on my benches in exact same conditions that still lives. Good luck with yours Mary 👍
Hi Jason, with so many different soil types around the country, would you advocate using an amount of "bonsai" soil around the base of trees on first planting in the ground? I have never planted anything directly into my garden (i have dug a few things out) but tend to use oversized pots if i am trying to get more growth... do you think i am wasting my time? Thanks for the info.
Difficult one, and depends much on what your garden soil is like. There is benefit in having the tree in nutrient rich soil, but if your soil has a lot of clay it may be counter productive and not drain well. My own ground planted trees are just planted directly in the ground rather than a bonsai soil. Perhaps if the soil is poor then spreading or mixing in a more free draining soil might be of benefit.

Glad it was helpful!
The paving slab makes sense. I have three baby Mugo pines which I've been trying to decide where and how to plant.
