1/8 inch screened pine fines

do the pine fines have to be aged or composted or will fresh ground pine fines be okay?

I screened pine fines with an 1/8" hardware cloth. half of what I screened ended up being less than 1/8". the remaining pine fines are an 1/8" to 5/16". Are the resulting pines fines, those less than 1/8" to dust, too small for the 5-1-1 mix? If so, 50% is a lot of waste!!

Can that less than 1/8" to dust be a substitute for the peat in the 5-1-1 mix?

thanks
