Hi All,

Has anyone here tried using cedar fines in place of pine bark fines in the 3:2:1 mix in an Earthtainer?

I'm grasping at straws. I can't find any pine fines at all, and all the fines or mulch or soil conditioner I can find has artificial dye or additional ingredients added. I did find some undyed mulch in bulk, but the minimum purchase was 2 cubic yards, and I just need 10 cubic feet.

I'm in Albuquerque, just in case someone local has the inside scoop.

Thanks!
