Waldor Orchid Fir Bark

I am on the hunt for a deal on fir bark for my tort enclosure. I need 5 cubic feet. I like Zoomed Reptibark but it will cost a small fortune. I found a website called Waldor Orchids. They sell fine grade fir bark for orchids and it is cheaper. Would you risk it?

Yes I would! but that link is referring to 'medium' grade. See if they have small or fine.

As long as there is nothing added to it and it's just plain bark then yes, I would use it.

Please check the shipping cost. I did it to check and the Shipping to Richmond, VA was $32 dollars making 2 cubic feet $72. On sale reptibark would easily be cheaper.

Do you have a HOME DEPOT anywhere near you?
They sell this in 2 different sized bags. And it's good stuff.
