| If you are able to read Japanese, I would appreciate your help translating this bag of soil (or soil amendment).
I bought it months ago and it may be specifically for maples or azaleas...just can't remember. Thanks in advance for your help.

| Hi, don't read Japanese, but it sure looks like it would be great for evergreens, maples, etc., definitely not for azaleas except in little bits. It looks to me like good old chicken grit, but may be, if not akadama, then kanuma, which is similar. |

| Hi, Lucy, thanks for your reply. We already have akadama. This is a lighter color. But thanks for the suggestion of kanuma. I googled kanuma and bonsai and learned from the Dallas Bonsai web page that, "It is more acidic than Akadama, and therefore, used mainly for Azaleas, Camellias, Gardenias and other acid loving Bonsai." So I am pretty sure we bought it for azaleas. Thanks again. |
