Reducing bark nugget sizes

[moke]

I have used a blender that I picked up at a thrift store, works wonderfully. Just don’t over fill it, few handful’s at a time. If I need a large amount I use a wood chipper.

Yes. I'm considering using this method as well.

Also excellent for long fiber sphagnum.

Throw it in a cement tumbler with some big rocks!
Let it rip for an hour, sift the big parts, run those again.

Loving this answer - you can pick up a cheap mixer at Harbor Freight or rent one through a big box store.

Did you even look at the link I looked up for you? That recommends exactly the same thing..

How to break down Pine Bark

Does anyone have a method of breaking down pine bark? Nobody sells pine bark in my area. So I ended up stripping a four foot piece off a massive old pine tree that had just been cut down. I than let it age six months in my garage. I've been cutting pieces off with a jigsaw than pounding it...

BrierPatch, thank you for the lunch invitation - winer schnitzel would be good with a glass of beer. I found a source of small bark locally after all. Thank you all for hints and suggestions.

Nah, it is not about the lunch. I can afford to buy myself lunch.
It is about the fact that you take the effort to look up a previous thread on a topic in which a number of useful options were discussed. Than a week later someone posts a suggestion, which was in the thread you looked up, and the response makes it obvious they never even checked the thread you shared. Makes me wonder "why bother", you know?

I recently found a product called Orchiata Precission 3-6 mm

Its small, maybe this helps.

Ah, we need to be tolerant Leatherbag. There is so much information being accumulated that at times we just glance through most of it. I’m the only one truly interested in the solution, so I went through all of suggestions carefully and found the one(s) which seem to be most applicable. In either case, thanks all that responded.

Thanks Bluone23. That is exactly the product I'm looking for. Will post my opinion on it once received.
