WRONG! Why do you think so many akadama users get so fired up on this thread? Because many DO dispute its validity in spite of decades of success and puzzlingly seem to want to close the door to even trying it. And believe it or not, premium trees are scarce without the use of akadama. I have given many younger bonsai enthusiasts my soil mix so that they continue in the hobby, and not get frustrated and quit. This being the case in spite of the loss of the Death Star and being a starving post rebellion quadriplegic vet.
I have a question for you: Why do you not post where you are located in your personal identity? I have tried Akadama and I have seen no significant difference from what I use. I also resent your observation that premium trees are scarce without the use of Akadama, to that absurdity I say prove it. Why do I think so many Akadama users get so fired up on this thread? Because there is a cult-like following revolving around the use of this product. That does not mean it is right.
