help with pine bark mulch!

aimeruni · April 18, 2014

the 'recipe' I use for my soil less mix calls for pine bark fines; I've looked high and low for these where I am at, and to no avail. They're either too small, or too big.

They're listed as 'orchid bark' on the internet but they're only available in small bags, and are really expensive, so that's not an option either.

I found cedar mulch that was the right size (about 3/8") so will this work as a substitute for the pine bark mulch?

It is available locally and is reasonable in price.
