There's a place in NZ that sells it by the ton -literally- but other

There's a product called Black Gold that is made of composted pine
bark, but I can't find any reference to what species of pine is used
in it.

How do folks that continually tinker with potting materials

the move to being distributors, is it normal to end up with
a couple cargo containers of the material?
