I'm sure you have bark available near you - you just haven't found it yet. How close to Chicago (Dundee) are you?

Thanks Al!

We are in far Northern Wi, so too far:( We are in a logging area, and maybe I am looking in all the wrong places. Was wondering about sawmills? Either they are doing something with the bark, or shipping it somewhere I would imagine!

I checked the location thread that was started and was hoping to find a Northern or even Central WI site, but I didn't see anything except for Southern WI...which is 6-7 hours away. Still looking, just starting to look into options:)

Thank you for all you do!!

Keep checking any nursery operations that sell mulch, peat ....... that's where you're going to find it. Check big box stores, too. I sometimes find excellent bark products there, too. Don't give up! ;-)

Let me know if you ever get down Chicago way & I'll hook you up.

Although tricky, I can find the needed bark around here in southeastern WI if I try hard. However, I choose not to use it at all, so if you can't find bark, rest assured that you can grow without it.
