Orchid bark

[wildlifewarrior]

best place would be a gerden centre or a builders yard, they sometimes have this stuff in as some do people drives and use this stuff for ground covering the soil.
i get mine from my petshop, if you ask then they shud be able to order you some in.

The post I made ossypete, was purely for information, and to make sure others understood the original post was about a particular brand name and not the generic name of a product. The colour change, if this upset you, was to highlight the section from a previous message.
FYI
I NEVER GET ON THE PARTICULAR BRANCH YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am one that prefers to stay on the sidelines and watch the kiddies play, your attitude confirms to me why I normally stay on the sidelines, and as to why people decide to leave.

then why correct me loraine ?? ,please let mods do that its their job. As someone else stated they gave their opinions on orchid bark( that is the subject line ) like me, that the product name "orchid bark" can have many different disguises if you like. you have a valid point about the pine smelling ones , i have had these even labelled orchid bark. People tend to jump on other people on here lately and thats the reason people have gone not due to my attitude. I offer advice from my own experience not to stir up arguments. please highlight in blue next time i prefer that colour XXX love peteXXX

C'mon people play nicely.

I dont like to see people arguing, this is a freindly forum. We are always watching and no moderating was required until now just to draw a line under this.

Thanks to you both Laraine and Ozzy Pete for bringing up your respective points, now back to the topic.
