Pine bark fines are used differently than other types of mulch. Here's a rundown of how to utilize them:
- As a mulch. Pine bark fines are ground and partially composted, so they break down faster than other mulch. This makes them ideal for getting bedding annuals started - the mulch suppresses spring weeds, and breaks down to nourish the soil as the annuals grow over it.
|
|
- As a soil amendment. Pine bark fines can be added to soil to add organic matter, improve drainage, aeration, and water retention.
|
|
|
- As a soil acidifier. With a pH between 4.0 and 5.0, Pine bark fines can be used as a sustainable alternative to peat moss. They're fantastic mixed in to the soil around acid-loving plants. In fact, blueberries thrive when planted in pine bark fines and nothing else!
Pine bark fines are a sustainable choice, as they are a byproduct of the lumber industry. This means that they are not harvested from forests that are being cleared for other purposes. They're also a versatile and beneficial addition to any garden. We've got them available now in bulk at $225 a ton, so give them a try!
