I wouldn't think if buying 25 pounds. That would keep me in fertilizer for at least a few decades. But if you're an entreprenuer, perhaps you could buy a bag or two and resell it in much smaller quantities to fellow orchid growers. That is exactly what the vendor from whom I bought mine did. I can't imagine why customs would prevent a Canadian from buying fertilizer from an American. After all, we're best of buddies, right? ;-) Actually it is far cheaper if you buy 40 bags... But I can't imagine most people wanting to do that. I think 4 or 5 dollars for a pound of fertilizer is a reasonably good deal. Sure it is cheaper in bulk, but if you aren't going to use it, it doesn't make sense. If you do buy a big bag, consider dividing it up into 1 or two pound increments when you first open it. I like the plastic deli containers (16 oz or 32 oz), with a lid. I get mine at GFS. It will keep a lot longer in sealed containers than in the big plastic bag. And if you get too many deli containers, you can turn them into semi-hydro pots!
