Bulk Buying in the UK

[CurtisM]

Wondering if anyone knows the best place to buy suitable Bark/Mulch form in the UK???

I'm using Coco Coir at the moment but want to switch to 50/50 mix. I don't want to pay pet shop prices.

Do people in the UK grow orchids? If yes, find a shop that sells them, and try to order a large bag of fine grade orchid bark.

Try to look for pine bark meant for potting like this: https://www.eastridinghorticulture....t-Additives/Barks/Melcourt-Orchid-Bark-Medium It is usually a bit cheaper.

If you type in 70l orchid bark substrate into Google, some bulk listings should come up for you.
I was initially throw seeing pine in the title, but after some more research I’ve found that it is safe for use here🙂
