    Does anyone have a reasonable source of this potting ingredient? OFE is off line, and Tropical Plant Products doesn't seem to have any. I am looking for a the compressed block size in a medium cut. My search engine can't seem to find any of any volume. I thought these eco-friendly, renewable resource items would be rampant on the internet.

    CalWest Tropical (link) has it. I buy a lot of product from CalWest but I don't use coco chips so I can't vouch for the quality of this item.

    Thank you, Kelly, but I am looking for larger quantities. I can save money by getting larger blocks, rather than a bunch of smaller ones.

    If you looked at the Calwest website, you should know that the last time I looked it hadn't been updated for a very long time. Email or call.
