Default Need sources for "mounting" media like cork, fiber or wood



When I started doing mountings it took me a while to find good places
to buy from. I buy in bulk as well as small chunks on impulse and I
buy alot of it. Tree fern as well. I also mount to anything that isn't
movin to fast. Just got back into town after a nice vacation where I
picked up nice pieces of driftwood and am soakin them now for more
mounting. (My wife had bags and bags of shells so I felt I should be
able to pack the car with a few chunks of wood)
Here is a small list of places I have bought from and had a good
result.

That should give you a nice varied selection of places and stuff to
chose from.

I've looked on the web but all I've found is the "standard" potting
media.

Can anyone recommend a source for mounting materials, preferably one
you've purchased from with good results.

I live in Detroit, MI and I'd prefer someone nearby but I'm willing to
order from companies that ship.

Thanks for any help.
