Please explain the "no coconut fiber", Jim. Is it because the fiber doesn't retain moisture as well as or as long as sphagnum moss? Do you not grow yours in an orchid media (bark-based)? I have started adding chopped up sphagnum moss to my bark mixes to increase moisture retention for those plants that like a more moist media. I was just thinking of something to line my basket with. I can use a wire (more open) or wood (more closed) basket.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
