I'll send you some. Im happy to share. The reason I like it is that it's everything that sphagnum moss isn't...it retains moisture and humidity but doesn't hold it, it stays fluffy without forming a mat when it's wet, and it seems to decompose into little tiny black granules instead of getting all goopy...I got the idea from seeing all kinds of volunteer epiphytes crowding inside trees that hadn't been hurricane-trimmed...I figured there must be some bio-mechanism there that epiphytes really like! I'm not sure what it is, but if nature deems it good, then it must be good!
