Re: Debco Plugger
People in our club who don't have a lot of trees have been using it for sometime and I haven't heard of any problems. However when I saw some it was very fine, even the zeolite is quite small. I don't use it, if you have a large number of trees it works out quite expensive and I think it would be to fine for most of my trees, perhaps ok for minis.

Re: Debco Plugger
Kingston at vineyard still stocks the same mix, except he gets it made by grange growing solutions instead.

Re: Debco Plugger
Anyone know where to buy the Debco Bonsai mix in the Brisbane area? The owners weren't too helpful in that aspect.

Re: Debco Plugger
I am with Chris H...Had the same experience with the roots all growing around the outside of the pot when using Debco Plugger.
I have now changed to Pumice mixed with some Diatomite, so far so good!!
Cheers Brendan.

Re: Debco Plugger
Ray Nesci has a good mix too, if you do not want to bugger around with your own and if so desired you can add a few ingredients of your own anyway
Disclaimer, I have NO monetary gain from saying this, but the bloke can grow anything, saw a little banksia out there on Sunday and the flower(seed pod)was bigger then the tree itself.

Re: Debco Plugger
This mix is now made to the same formula by Scotts Australia. Product item # 684089.
I buy it by the pallet, 60 bags and it works out very reasonable for our club members.

Re: Debco Plugger
Alan, is it the same mix?? I have used the Debco for years, bought up all the bags I could find once I heard they had sold to Scotts. So I am interested to know have you tried the Scotts personally, and seen it is the same? I did pick up a bag of something labeled bonsai mix from the green shed, I honestly can't remember if it was Scotts but it was all fines and powdery rubbish. I took it back. Useless for bonsai, so very keen to hear your findings.
Cheers

Re: Debco Plugger
Yes the mix is exactly the same.
It goes by the name of Debco Plugger Bonsai Mix with Scotts. Were on our 3rd pallet from Scotts. The first 2 loads were in Debco Plugger bags and the last lot were in plain bags but it is still the same formula and is the same mix.
