Hi Erlend.

I'm sure you've got everything wrapped up already but I think anything that is mostly carbon and won't absorb & hold moisture would work. MikeVan had a good Q with how finely shredded is it? I don't (of course) know anything about pine bark.

If you tried bubble wrap did you use clear or black? I've heard of using pine straw. We can get it @ nurserys here but I've never used it either.

Good luck & please keep me posted on how it goes.
