My “opinion” on this book
Tries to dispel many myths in growing bonsai but personally I still disagree with quiet a few of them that the book seems to state as fact ! like lime sulphur does not preserve wood and pine bark in a bonsai soil mix is useless, each to their own I guess. Still a good read though but don’t like the way it’s been set out. Opinions are like bottom holes though, we all have one ;)
