Hey there, I am only new to this site so please bear with me if I don't do things in the normal way, I live in S E Qld Near Gympie and there is a company here who manufactures a product called " Natra Min" it is a bio-activated Mineral Fertiliser Soil Conditioner, my question is " has anybody used Natra Min in their potting mix" ?? and if so " was there any noticeable changes in growth pattern with their Bonsai"

Re: Natra Min
Never heard of it sorry
Only use organic Ferts in my Non Organic Growing medium
...Just realised the irony in that statement
I strive to get Soils that have no organics in them, then strive to fertilise only with Organics LOL

Re: Natra Min
I think i remember natra-min from organic vege growing books. It is a crushed rock i think for adding minerals to the soil. It is a very slow release thing and great for the soil but i wonder if it would be of much benefit to bonsai with the regularity of our repotting. Perhaps faster release stuff would make a more noticeable difference, trace elements etc.
