Lisa, could you use pine straw? Basically baled pine needles. We picked up some bales of it here in Orlando and I'm using it for mulch around our established outdoor plants and trees.

I did a search for "Pine Straw Omaha" and found this place. I'm not sure whether this will work for you. https://antiquitysupply.com/product/pine-straw-mulch/

I did end up chopping up some of the pine in my leaf blower/vac/mulcher so that it was shorter strands, for some smaller potted items. I'm also using some leaves.

Also wondering whether you could find sawdust?
