I know there are other threads on this..please feel free to forward me, if you find them.

I am in a tizzy over finding something to put in my potting mix. I have looked for 'pine fines' now, for at least the last 5 years. I have even taken pine mulch and ran over it with the lawn mower.
I was at Lowes today, determined to come home with something to plant my last years seedling in, and my new plants. Well......all the orchid barks and small mulch is from a fir tree. The pine mulch was huge. There was every color of rubber mulch you could think of, its the right size, but......Then I thought I had hit the jackpot with these bags of very small mulch. Some of the piles were from eucalytus trees and the other was from melaleuca tress.
Does anyone know if these things will work, or harm the plants. Im really just looking for some good drainage.
