I threw it out in the garden as organic matter. If you have only potted plants you can mix in with other mixes.

I would put it in the vegetable garden as well.

Thanks poncirusguy and Denise. Right now I only have potted plants/veggies so adding it to a mix would be great. I have a very small strip that I am considering preparing for a few in ground plants so I guess tilling it into the area would be a good idea as well. Thanks so much.

Feline Pine is a product made of pine that absorbs urine and odors. I buy it for my cat, but I understand other people use it for chinchillas, so you might try it as litter for any animal, if you have any. I like Feline Pine. It's all natural, so you don't have to worry about the carcinogenic possibilities of inhaling the dust, like some of the clumping litters. I started thinking about it because I had a cat that liked to dig in the litter, and the area was covered in dust. He also started coughing, so I looked up alternative litters and I changed.

Thank you Patti. I do not have any types of pets, But it is a very thoughtful use though. I struggle enough as it is just trying to grow things, so for now that is my limit. Again, thanks a bunch.

Find a corner of a local park and spread the fines around Shawshank Redemption style. ;)

I use it for taking fingerprints.

You can make hyperturfa!

Funkyhat that would probably be a good use for it. And it would definitely have to be done on the low because several years ago there was a news story here in dfw about a woman that in keeping up an area near her home that would get overgrown owned by the city. Well for her beautification and improvement efforts she was cited. Apparently the work she was doing was against the law. I don't know if she got off but she was inconvenienced at the least.

Thanks Richard, but I have not began composting as of yet due to limited space although it is on my lists of " one days". I almost purchased a small one at Aldi's but I hesitated and they were gone. I think it may have fit the bill as far as size and price to give it a try.

The original and official 5-1-1 recipe calls for leaving in the fine particles - it's totally safe to use with other plants if you're not comfortable using it with citrus. Much of it just washes out the first month or two of watering anyway. The reptibark mix championed in this forum is a fantastic mix but definitely errs on the side of drainage and almost behaves like a 1-1-1 gritty mix.

Hypertufa? Had not heard of that so I Googled it. Sounds really interesting so it has made my list of "one days" , possibly sooner than later just to see the outcome and try my hands at crafting. Thanks kvechlambkin. I see several how to's and making it.

Thanks PacNorWreck, after yours and others information on it is possible to leave it in I will try my next mixes with. As for the repti bark, I think that I have found a source of pine bark that seems to no have as much sapwood as the first brand that I tried so I will not be using it at all.

I screen out the dust because, under my growth conditions, the mix is too water retentive. I have used Repti-Bark and it works fine but costs too much $$.

No problem! I just found out about hyperturfa myself last week. It looked like an interesting way of crafting our own breathable outdoor containers

If you can find this stuff in your area, it seems to be pretty great aged pine bark fines for 511. http://www.daddypetes.com/petes-soil-enhancer/
