Lowes and Home depot also has huge bricks of coir as an alternative for peat moss. I get 5kg which is over 8 bricks for $8

I get the same brand that Damion5050 gets which is also the same brand sol on that website Damion5050 gave a link to...Zoo Med Eco Earth Coco Coir...it's also available online at Petsmart
http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752603
I get it at my local Pet Land shop.
Stay away from hydroponic store coco coir as it is often treated with trichoderma spores.
I'd buy from that website that Damion5050 linked as it's on sale and the sale ends on the 16th this month.

I just figured I'd find it on Pet Smart for him since he linked Pet Smart I had assumed there was one nearby him.

Problem is my petsmart never carries any, they are always sold out so I order it online from dr fosters like 60 bricks at a time.

Roughly 650 grams and or 1.4-1.5lbs. See I don't like doing that though just my opinion I like the pre measured bricks so I know how much they are I don't have to do any figuring.
