Can I dig pine bark into my garden?

Mar 31, 2015 4 Replies

Hi All,



One of my garden plots has visqueen over it and seven holes that I grow stuff through. The visqueen has pine bark as cover over it.



If I decide to recover the entire area and remove the visqueen, can just dig the pine bark under, or do I need to remove it?



Many thanks,

why not reuse it as a top mulch in your gardens?

seems like a waste of a valuable material to dig it in and then cover it...

I agree, plus it would probably tie up a large amount of nitrogen in the decomp process. Steve

And the mulch will gradually disappear into the soil beneath. That's a Good Thing!

Hi Songbird, Steve, and Gary,

Didn't think of that. Thank you!
