Do as. Say not as I do. Lol these are some tomato seedlings potted up in a fifty fifty mix of pro mix and finely ground pine bark. For some reason the bark doesn’t eat up the nitrogen quite the same as wood chips do. In fact pine bark is what most nurseries use for their woody trees and shrubs and to some extent their perennials. The bark adds stability and life to the growing mix. If a grower were to try and grow trees in a pure pro mix media the mix would lose its porosity and also the ph would be far out of whack in a long term situation. Peat perlite mixes are for short term crops like annuals. Plants that will be potted long term will be in some combination of a peat/ bark/ sand mix
