...dig, dig, dig... scratch, scratch, scratch... Peck, peck, peck... ... OH! Hello there! Welcome to the community!
I noticed you said you are into bonsai, I am as well. I am working with a type of willow. A tea from all forms of willow will make an all natural cloning media. At the moment it isn't much to look at as it's only a stick in the ground with new growth coming off. Willow clone so easy all you have to do is stick them in the mud! Yey!
