Potting Bark Media & Nursery Mixes
Professional growing substrates made from superior pine bark fines—aged, screened, and proven in the field.
Rooting & Growing Media Made Right
Parker Bark growing media begins with high quality, 100% Southern Yellow Pine bark from mills that we have vetted for their quality. We don’t rush the process. We age, turn, screen, and test to ensure every batch promotes drainage, aeration, and root health.
Millions of plants have started and grown in our media because the ingredients, the aging, and the process stay consistent. Our formulas have been refined and repeated for decades—what many in North Carolina recognize as the nursery mix standard pioneered by founder Tommy Parker.
Propagation Bark
Our Propagation Bark is composed of carefully aged pine bark fines, screened to a smaller, more uniform particle size than standard fines. These particles provide excellent drainage and aeration without collapsing. Ideal for young, tender cuttings and early root development.
Potting Bark
Our pine bark fines are consistently effective when used as a potting media and soil conditioner. The composted bark fines provide many nutrient benefits. It’s a core ingredient in our Nursery Mix.
Nursery Mix
A proven potting media trusted for decades. This is the same foundational blend commercial growers have relied on for generations, refined through years of field performance rather than lab theory. Ideal for 1-gallon and larger containers, this is a general-purpose mix used widely by nurseries that prioritize reliability.
Greenhouse Mix
*This is a Custom Order*
Designed for plants that require more water and a lighter media profile. It holds more water than traditional nursery mixes, reducing irrigation swings and stress on tender inventory.
