Adding a good amount of pine bark to the pile

So for a few years, I have tended to cover my art wood with outer slabs of untreated pine. This seems to have invited the violet tanbark beetle. So a whole lot of bark was easy to remove from these pieces of wood, and I chopped it into compost bite sized pieces for future quality soil.

Since the bark looks great and the beetle's ways are kind of pretty, I share some of these sights with you guys.
