I have around 300 phrags I need to repot, where is everyone buying their bulk medium fir bark from? My usual place is sold out and I hate the idea of buying so many 8 quart bags.

Try Green Barn Orchid Supplies(FL, USA), They have 35 litre bags of bark(about two cubic foot?) and I am sure they can sell your bigger size...they do sell 50 pound bag of charcoals. Email them or call (561)499-2810
I buy Kiwi Bark from Fred at SVO. Shipping is expensive.

Green Barn is in Delray Beach Florida to be more specific.
Shipping has been expensive for quite some time. I prefer Orchiata myself compared to fir bark but it comes down to preference.

Green Barn was Bill's suggestion when I asked for good orchid supply sources last year, so thanks again.....and, I am going to run out of fir barks soon too, so I will get some from GB. I ordered some pots, charcoal, and sponge rocks from Green Barn about three or four months ago, shipping wasn't too bad. They claim they charge shipping at cost, or close to it.
I used to place a large order from suppliers if they offered free pickup at shows...and that was in the good old days. I am not sure if they still give customers that option now.
