Soil material in newcastle

Post by zimzallabim »

So I can seem to find anything to make my own bonsai mix in Newcastle. All the nurseries and landscape places look at me funny when I ask if they have crushed clay/terracotta or anything other than ordinary garden stuff..

Any ideas?

I don't trust Bonsai, they are a little shady.
