I was wondering if anyone knew where I could order COCO COir in BULK at Bulk Pricing. I use it in my Terreriums for my Frogs and In my Outdoor Turtle habitat. I also use it in all my house plants.

CoCo Coir Need to buy bulk
I dug around a while back and found out I can get it for $135. a metric ton. The catch - it's in India. I don't think that shipping was included. :)
Try looking up Hydro-organics. They sell coir for cheap enough for me to switch over to 100%. The catch - on four "bales" (11 pound blocks really) the shipping was $6?. putting it at $25.?? a bale.
You are closer to them than I am.
Good luck.
If you do find somewhere that will sell to you in bulk for a decent price please let me know.
Thanks

It really is an amazing Product. I was hoping to find it at about $7-$8 bucks a bale. NO more than $10 inclusive of shipping.
I have ordered coir from www.rolanka.com in Georgia. Shipping is included in the price. They have it available in the following sizes at these prices:
24 bricks - $50
4 blocks (45 lbs.) - $56
200 disks - $45
bale (55 lbs.) - $62
cicada,
Have you ever ordered one of those bales? That sounds too good to be true. Is it just dust or is it a nice fiber mixture?
Have you ever used "Growcoir" or "Procoir"? If so how would you compare the bales from Rolanka with it?
Thanks
germinater,
I have only ordered the bricks and blocks. It is compacted dust. I have not used Growcoir or Procoir.
I've wanted to try it too.. Did anyone think about doing a Co-op for it?? Bulk purchase might lower the price too.. Just needs someone more knowledge to host the co-op..
i know this is a very old thread but was wondering if anyone had come across a good distributor for buying coir in bulk...thanks...virginia
Go to the market part of this forum and search for "coir". Boca Bob sells it and may be able to make you a deal. You can contact him on the container, vegetable, or self contained box forums also.
