I probably should have a chipper, but I don't think it would work with cypress mulch. This mulch is not the bark, it is the wood, shredded. I think the shredded wood would just clog up the chipper, but then again, I don't know that it would. What a chipper probably would do is chip up large pine bark "nuggets". I don't know whether pine bark would be a good substitute for Douglas fir bark. Pine is certainly plentiful and relatively cheap here in Mississippi.

Has anyone used pine bark as a substitute for Douglas fir bark in growing orchids?
