skarkouti said: @pone31 I see you are up in San Jose so probably don't know about any bark suppliers down here in San Diego. For the past week or so, I've been going to all big box stores and small local nurseries trying to find pine bark to make 5-1-1 soil for our new container citrus trees to no avail. It seems no one in this area carries them. I'm left with either going with ReptiBark or fine fir bark that I've seen people recommend as substitute. Any recommendations on substitutes or where I should look at?


How much soil do you need? If you can handle 1/2 cubic yard or more delivered by truck, call the local wholesale suppliers and see if they have a composted redwood bark product. Most of these will be nitrolized and pH neutralized as well.
