Where can I buy coco coir? Is it in pet stores or should I order it online? If online, what's a reliable website with good pricing?
When I go to the garden supply centers and ask for it they have no idea what I'm talking about. do you have a specific brand or how do you ask for it?I get it in large blocks from garden supply centers for about $12. This is the equivalent of about 20 of those little pet store blocks.

The nurseries around here don't seem to have it. Home Depot didn't either. I'm sure it's easier to find in bigger towns. Hopefully I won't need any for a while so I won't have to worry about itYou must be asking the wrong person... It is ground up coconut husk. It is used for many gardening and potting needs. I've seen it at all the different plant selling nurseries around here. Not at hardware stores with a garden section, but at full fledged garden centers. Maybe this is a regional thing and I just didn't know it.
Alternatively, I just did an internet search and turned up this along with many others: http://www.redearthworms.com/1-5KG-...a_7c27_d_005&gclid=CKqe0Ja2gMMCFY0-MgodPUwA5w
Can't beat that. $7.50 and they send it to your door.
I ordered mine from pet mountain.com and I got it on sale. There were little blocks but I think it I ordered 12 or so because I did the math and that was a great price for the amount of coco coir $18 which it gave me more than the nursery big block. I had use some and until now I still have to change my tortoise bedding area.
It can also be called 'coco peat'.When I go to the garden supply centers and ask for it they have no idea what I'm talking about. do you have a specific brand or how do you ask for it?
If I ask for that day show me towards the Pete Moss. I think we just don't have the right type of store here is the problem.It can also be called 'coco peat'.
