Al,
Here's the picture of the pine bark fines we found. I'm really, really, really happy to have found a source, even if I do have to screen it. Nothing will go to waste, since I can throw the larger chunks into the raised beds I'll build for the fall! I'll have a good bit of "dust to nickel-size" material to work with for my eBuckets. I bought fresh MG Potting Mix as the peat component and I have the course perlite. I also found the MG Liquid Plant Food in the 3-1-2 ratio (it's 12-4-8)!

I think I'm in business! Can't wait to see the results. It's been a long time coming!

Hugs!

P.S. Could I run the larger pieces through a wood chipper if I ever needed more "fines"?
