Where can I find coco coir?

I've looked everywhere, at every pet store in my town and there's 4. No coco coir in any of them.

Most pet stores carry it. It comes in a square, compressed brick and one brand name is Bed-A-Beast.

They call it different things. Like Yvonne said, Bed-A-Beast is one. Eco-Earth is another. Sad that 4 pet shops near you don't know this... But telling. This is why we say don't take advice from pet shops...

I prefer to buy it in bulk at garden centers. MUCH cheaper that way and its exactly the same stuff.

Thanks. Yeah, I asked them all and they didn't know what I was talking about, but thank you, now I know the brands and I can look myself! Thanks so much!!

or just get a bale of organic peat moss from the garden center. Cheaper and easier!

Try an aquaculture, hydroponic store, I can pick up a block that is packaged for under $15.00 makes between 15 to 17 gals of substrate depending if it is the chips. Also what I am getting is certified organic!
