This is the Sun Bulb Company out of Arcadia Florida..
As some of you know I live on the tiny island of Antigua, I have been using Sphagnum moss for Jaba's night time bedding, but she always ends up on the plastic bottom of her night time habitat (Rubbermaid type).
I saw a bag of this Better-Gro Orchid Bark today it is a very fancy bag but the ingredients only say Fir, however because the bag looks so fancy I am worried there might be ferts in it.. I have a post out to them on Facebook but was wondering if anyone is familiar with this product and can either recommend it or not..
I would love to give it a try and see how Jaba likes it...
Please don't tell me to go to Home-Depot or Walmart.. lol ..and get a big bag of it for $XX like I said I live on an Island the size of a pea and we only have certain brands coming onto the island and everyone stocks the same no matter where you go..

Thanks for you time folks.. :)

Oh I have a phone number for them if anyone lives near and can get a free call or something...

Orchid bark of any brand would be fine to use. Orchids are very temperamental, so their growing medium has to be pretty pure. Its a great substrate for tortoises.
