Default Sourcing coco coir

For years I have been buying the kokosnot soil block from Ikea for my torty and for the first time they don't have any in stock. I've been waiting for a while now in the hope they might get some more in but its not looking hopeful and he's due a substrate change.

I was just wondering where you all got yours from?
Thanks!

I've just looked on the Ikea website, it shows 72 blocks in stock at Bristol, but none in Cardiff. There is a facility to email you when it's back in stock.

Thanks guys, bit the bullet and bought the expensive (in comparison) stuff. Will definitely be stocking up when/if it's back in Ikea!
