Martin,

A coarser mix for conifers, especially pines, isn't a bad idea. I and
others in my area usually use a somewhat coarser mix for our pines, although
it isn't 100% necessary.

For pines I don't use much, if any, bark in the mix - 25% or less, with the
rest just being lava rock or other grit.

Regards,

I've built my screen, screened 60 litres of bark and am just now getting
psyched up to start repotting my 25 training pots
I'm assuming I should make an even coarser mix for my conifers?
