Carries Superthrive, New Zealand, Florida, and Wisconsin sphagnum moss, tree
fern mulch, osmunda fiber, coconut fiber, and several fungicides, insecticides
etc. They seem to be mostly oriented to orchid growers, with lots of pots,
planters, mixes. etc. I have ordered from them on occasion. I would expect
your freight cost for bulky items would get expensive pretty quickly.
