Hello Jim,

Ray Creek (Orchids) is a great mail order firm, I can certainly recommend
it - I buy coconut husk from him, it works really well. Only mail order
though, no web - telephone number for a catalogue is 01724 798445.

There's a good on-line site at Burnhams
(http://www.orchids.uk.com/paradise.htm) but I can't see bark or any other
accessories in their on-line catalogue, just plants & books/videos. Might be
worth dropping them an email to enquire, though.

Hi all,

1) Is there a FAQ for this group if so where do I find it?
2) Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced UK supllier of orchid Bark?
(Or can I use 'normal' bark?) I've tried all the local garden centres
for 'Levingtons' brand bark compost and none stock it.

I'm a newbie to orchids so please forgive any errors on my part

Cheers

Thx for that and to all who replied,

I've also taken out a years subs for the Orchid Soc GB, as that seems a
worthy tactic to learn more about these plants.

Welcome to Jim and all the lurkers who popped in. Ther is no FAQ
for RGO, only old files in Google's database of newsgroups.

Please if you can get binaries visit with us on ABPO as well.
alt.binaries.pictures.orchids It is mostly the same group and is
the location we post photos. If you can not subscribe to it,
please don't post photos here. Just give us the address of the
location you posted on the web and we will visit. We are all
intensely curious about each others plants and blooms, so we love
photos.
