Coconut Husk Chips
 


This is a follow up to a question I had back at the end of September.
I was looking for the Crystal Company, which I remembered used to
advertise in Orchids magazine selling bales of CHC.
After some help here, I found their web site and e-mail address. The web
site showed the product but showed no prices or any way to order it. I
sent an e-mail to inquire. No response was ever received.
At that point, I sent an e-mail to Roberts Flower Supply and got a reply
within hours. I had ordered from them the last time I bought a full bale
of CHC but I wanted to compare prices. I placed the order and their
service was very good. Just thought I would report.

Yes, Wayne (Roberts) is good, and I have been buying from him for many
years. I did notice that the CHC I get now is not of the same quality or
uniformity I got a few years back, but I see the same thing in it from
every source I find, so I think it's just what there is no matter where
you get it.

I noticed the difference too. Before it was nice clean chunks. Now they
are more ragged and more loose fibers. I'm expecting my plants to not
care much.

I noticed the same - not as nice as it was before. Especially the small
stuff - lots of long fibers making it a lot harder to pot with. :(

I think someone invested the money to purchase the machines to chop up
the CHC but now the blades have worn out and they are too cheap to buy
new ones. (Just a wild guess)
