Arnold and Kelly,

I have found that is excellent as the primary component of a mix, not just
an ammendment. It is a little expensive, but it last much longer than peat
mixes.  And hosts less diseases.  It can be keep dry to grow mediterranean
bulbs or wet to grow aquatics.Quite versatile.

The more you buy the cheaper.  The big bales are yur best best bet for the
$.

I have thought about importing it to sell (the small cubes)w/ my plants.

Best,
Kevin Preuss
