I'm making a number of boxes to use in growing plants this fall/winter, working on landscaping a strange slope in our yard that has potential for a terraced garden. Some of these boxes might find use as grow boxes for bonsai material. That will really be the case if I make a collecting trip to "the farm" in November.
If I do that, what soil should I use? A bonsai mix? potting soil? something else? I will no doubt be collecting only local deciduous or dormant local plants: hawthorn, red maple, honeysuckle azalea (I hope), yaupon, and the like. the only conifers I might bother with are small cedars. I'm in zone 7b, and the plants will come from zone 8 -- not very far away.
I'm open to suggestions and want the plants to survive
