Japanese Maple container mix - pine bark fines

10 years ago

OK, so I know there are several old threads on this subject, but, has anyone in the Austin/CenTex area recently found a reliable source for aged pine bark/fines? I need to make a mix for repotting a Jap Maple, so I was going to try "Al's Mix" and put some soil acidifier in with it.

If you have a mix that you would recommend that doesn't require aged pine bark/fines, then I am all ears. My local garden center suggested I just use this Vortex potting soil. I keep reading how compost is not the best for potting mixes and that is what is in this...

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or help.
