Pine bark chunks too large?

| Since we know that particle size is important when trying to squeeze the most out of our bark-based soil mixes or the gritty mix, and often the bark we buy that is bagged as 'nuggets' or 'mini-nuggets' is just to large to be considered ideal, I thought I'd post a link to a thread that seems to have solved that problem nicely.

| As I have mentioned before I have lots of bark available from downed dead fir trees that I run through my shredder with good results. Now I am going to run granite, only available here in quantity sized at quarter inch, through the shredder. Poultry farmers here all feed oyster shell to the chickens not crushed granite. Parakeet granite is available but far too costly in the small quantities. I will let you know how and if it works. Al |

Fantastic!
I remember that we (Forum members) were brainstorming over this very issue just a few months back.
This is an excellent solution. A mulching mower with a leaf-catcher.
Thanks! Josh |
