Abstract: A fibrous propagation medium includes a volume of refined, acidic wood and/or bark fiber having about 2.3-5.0 vol. % of a particle size of 2.36-4.74 mm (sieve #8), based on the total volume of the wood fiber, moisture content of about 16-28 wt. %, and water holding capacity of about 50-95%, according to the NCSU Promoter Analysis.

Abstract: A method for making a growing medium includes a step of combining tree bark and/or wood components together to form an initial composition; heating the initial composition to a temperature greater than about 149° C. under steam in a pressurized vessel; processing the initial composition through a refiner with a plurality of opposing disks to obtain the fibrous growing medium, the refiner separating fibers from each other; wherein the growing medium has total porosity of 88 volume % or more.
