If you have been used to conventional soil based mixes in the past don't be alarmed at the appearance of our Premium Bonsai Compost No3 - Superior Drainage Mix with Biochar. This product works wonders as witnessed by hundreds of our customers over the last 15-20 years.

A blend of carefully graded high performance coarse aggregates, hand graded pine bark and British Biochar chips offer unparalleled performance. Some species used for  bonsai have special needs when it comes to their growing medium. Our No3 mix offers a very high moisture holding potential but, at the same time, allows free air circulation vital to the health of tree roots. Neutral PH and a very high cation exchange capacity (nutrient retention). Biochar brings unparalleled bio activity to this unique mix. Keeps it's integrity indefinitely without compacting or breaking down!

Absolutely the very best quality growing medium available today. Suitable for pines, yew, needle foliage junipers and Mediterranean species like olives, in fact any tree that needs a free draining soil mix. Guaranteed to be a revelation!

Use straight from the bag, no sieving and NO waste.

It has taken Graham thirty years to perfect our unique soil mixes, a process that continues every day. It's possible that a third or more of the bonsai trees in the UK are planted in our soil products, we sell hundreds of tons a year. We don't sell hastily composed mixes that are untested. Please respect this effort and dedication and don't ask for the recipe.
