Planning to do 2:2:1 pine, potting mix, perlite mix for growing mostly tomatoes/aubergine/courgette. These 2 are my options:

| Nothing that is "multh grade". It will tell you on the back if it is intended for use as medium. I think it is the same as orchid bark. pine bark fines aswell. Some multch will work. Somone will help you further on here. |

| I use this with good results: Melcourt composted fine bark If you can't find it anywhere near you delivery costs are gonna be a bit high, so me too would like to find alternatives. Has anyone used J. Arthur Bowers composted pine bark? |

| It is composted bark fine, is that large enough to use for the 5-1-1 mix? |
