What is it?
BonsaiBoost is the meal which remains of the Canola bean once the oil is extracted. It is related to the bean used to produce cottonseed, used for centuries in Japan.
Easy to use
BonsaiBoost is packaged in high quality coffee filter bags to ensure water penetrates easily but without allowing the ground fertilizer to disappear into the soil mix.
To use simply place the BonsaiBoost bag onto the soil and secure in place with wire or a toothpick. For shohin (small trees below 30cm) you should use about 1 bag. Medium sized trees can take 2 bags and larger trees as required. For maintenance of developed trees you will not need as much fertilizer as trees which are still being developed.
Replace the bags roughly every 2 months. When you first start using them they will omit an odour. This odour diminishes with time till eventually no smell is experienced. The ground canola cake will become a solid lump, this is normal.
While using BonsaiBoost little additional fertilizer is needed. For many years, Japanese bonsai professionals have been using exclusively these cakes to fertilize their trees. However for flowering plants you may want to use a fertilizer specifically aimed at promoting flowering. A seaweed extract may also be a good idea to use once in a while.
100% Biodegradable
After using the bag for your preferred length of time don't simply throw it away. You can do the following:
- Make a small hole in your garden soil and bury the bag, it will completely degrade and add to the nutrients there too.
- Use it around your overpotted trees which are still undergoing development.
- Fertilize your field growing trees.
- Place into pot plant containers.

Examples of enhanced growth

The above photo was taken of the underside of a canola cake bag. As you can see, the roots of the tree has grown into the bags seeking the nourishment it contains.
The photograph above shows the roots of an elm bonsai tree and how they have risen to the surface seeking the source of the fertilizer above, the canola cake.
