Bonsai growing media must encourage and support a highly ramified network of fine roots in a very small volume. This booklet takes a novel approach to achieving that goal, bypassing the common squabbling over "best" recipes. It explains how to quantitatively characterize any soil mix with simple measurements that anyone can perform. Recipes can be tuned for water retention, air flow, density, and cost. Easy to follow instructions empower hobbyists and professionals alike to develop and refine soils that meet their individual needs.
