All,

At a meeting yesterday our speaker (Jeff Adkins, very, very funny) brought
with him compressed CHF. This was not in big bricks, but in small rounds
with flat ends, just the right size for a 3-4" pot. The stuff can be pulled
apart enough to insert your plant base. Then it is stuffed right into the
pot, and Voila! Potting done. It's prewashed, though I'd probably wash it
again to be on the safe side.

Jeff said OFE sells these. OFE's site is down right now, and an email to
them brought unsatisfactory results (not the first time that has happened).
I googled it, and will some more, but meanwhile does anyone know another
source for this stuff?
