I actually used vermiculite because I cant figure out how to get very fine pine bark. I wonder if I can turn them to fine sizes by myself.

My container before simply had compost and Ecoscraps potting mix which has good amount of fine pine barks, but the ratio was wrong. Also, gasp..... potting soil, which I already know to not waste my money on.
