Ed Bloodnick Grower Services Director

"Potted trees and shrubs require growing media with a good bulk density, to stabilize the container and a good aeration/drainage capacity for overhead irrigation. Bark-based mixes work well for this application, but the growing medium selected mustn't dry out too fast. PRO-MIX® BK and BKI are bark-based growing media that have a higher bulk density and good aeration/drainage characteristics for containerized trees and shrubs. The combination of peat, processed pine bark and perlite holds an adequate amount of water and provides for a good rooting environment for outdoor nursery applications."
