    What a cool gifts! And the comeback of viewers photos ❤ 'specially those cork-bark oaks .... I maybe have to start travelling to south of Europe, not just the north......
    If you don't like using peat, try and use coir with it/ or plain coir. Good for seeds and seedlings and a renewable source unlike peat. Keeps moisture preeeetty well, but is also well draining. Can be mixed up with perlite and/or pumice. But the OG Nigel-Saunders mix is the best for root growth and drainage 🧡

    I know Nigel's typical mix but wondered if there was a specific seed soil mix that he uses. Is it just a smaller particle size of the usual and some potting soil? I think he mentions that in one of his @thebonsaizone videos.
