| Thanks Joe. That's good to know. I've read that coir is an alternative to using peat moss as it serves the same purposes. The good part is that as coconut fiber it is a sustainable product where peat moss is not. BTW, Lockhill Feed Store in San Antonio has 40 lb sacks of green sand for $8.99. It's an acidifier, less expensive, safer, and much better for the environment than Ironite, which I used to use. "The presence of heavy metals in Ironite® lead to its banning in Canada, and lawsuits in the United States due to the potential release of heavy metals– notably arsenic and lead." |
