I went shoping 4 some potting soil. all bags say [if prossed in GA. may contain 40-70% pine bark] WTF I don't want that much pine bark.
so I bought
peat moss
black cow
mushroom compost
top soil
I'm far from a Southerner, as I'm about to demonstrate..
We took a trip to Atlanta last spring, and we're walking around the fancypants hotel, and I'm noticing.. "Honey, look at the mulch.. Is that all.. Is that f*cking pine needles?!" And literally, 3-6" deep. Pine needles.
Ended up meeting up with a local-to-the-area ICmagger, and he informed me that that's apparently a thing down South, to mulch with pine needles.. ?!
