My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

bonsai soil additives

8 years ago

I used to do bonsai about 25 years ago, and have just got back into them again. I used to use polymers ( water storing crystals) by putting fertilizer in the water, adding the crystals to soak up the water, then add to my soil mixture. Do you see a problem with this additive.
