Question:

What can i use to replace Spagnum Moss for mixing with soil for a bonsai plant?

I have vermiculite and perlite could i combine either of those with the soil?Think its only added to retain moisture, therefore vermiculte 50% with soil 50% what do you think?Does that mean i won't have the moss look? (algae instead)can i get moss that grows rocks at the local pond/fountain? is that the same moss?

Answer:

You really need to do nothing. Just don't disturb the material any further. The pricing is a little high in price, but could be in line depending on where you live. You can tell your wife, the mold was a bigger risk than any asbestos exposure. The mold can impact you immediately where any asbestos exposure takes 10-40 years. She is more likely to get hit by lightning than this exposure causing any problem.
