Alan:

In my part of the world, more and more florists are selling potted orchids
for the home. Often, they will have orchid bark mixes. It isn't cheap, but,
in the quantities we use, can save a lot of miles chasing after an
alternative.

Regards,

Bart Thomas

If you can get orchid mix, it works great for bonsai. When I
could get it, I found it to be very homogenous particle size,
just right for our needs. However, I haven't been able to get
anyone local to carry it. They know that the bonsai group is
small and apparently so are the orchid growers.

Since cocoa shell mulch is not the best, and it seems to be much
easier to find, does anyone know of a good source for smaller
size pine bark nuggets?
