how do you store bark?

[DirtyCoconuts]

I will make one slightly contrasting take.

I rarely use bark. It is only to add to my normal mix when I want some thing to stay a bit wetter longer. I now only use orchiata and the Power size.

I like the bark not bone dry. If it is it stays that way too long and doesn’t do the job I ( and possibly uniquely I) want it to

So, I get food grade five gallon buckets for $3 at firehouse subs and store the bark in there with maybe a half cup or a cup of water. It lives outside but in the shade but sealed and the bark is always good.

I guess the lack of air and light makes it less hospitable but it is still MY experience
