I searched to see if this info was posted before and didn't see it. Also not sure if this is in the right spot.....You can move it Phil if you need to.
I was in some serious need of more Sphagnum and went to Petsmart and they wanted $14 for a small bale...No way I am paying that.....So I started looking around on line and it was all pretty expensive for what you get, not to mention shipping. So I then did a search at Lowes and HD.....We sure enough they carried it. I went to Lowes the other day after work(across the street from my work) and they had the same size bales that Petsmart had. It is orchid growers choice Sphagnum and is organic blond sphagnum.....How much $ did it cost? $4.75 so I picked up 3 bales and another kind that is organic as well that was double the size for $3.65. I am now set with sphag for a good long while.
I like supporting sponsors, pet shops, on-line retailers but when I can get 3-4 times the amount for the same price I would be fool not to
