Kerry,

While we are talking long fiber sp moss, I wanted to also ask if you are the one that made videos that are on you tube (at least I think that what its called) showing how to start cuttings in plastic cups. Then in second one shows putting cuttings in long fiber moss to root???????? If so they are great, if you didn't post the links yet you should. I would but I don't know how, sorry.

Mosser Lee's Long-Fibered Sphagnum Moss comes from Central Wisconsin.

Just did the math comparing to local price for small batch at Home Depot.  I can get 432 cubic inches (which is .25 cubic feet) for 3.97.  Figure in 7% sales tax and cost is 4.25.  It would take 24 of these to get to 6 cubic feet, so that would cost $102.  The all in price of this deal is $56.50, which is about a 50% discount.  However, for me, to have to buy that much at once, it would probably take years to use it, so I'd prefer to buy the smaller ones.  But it sounds like a good deal for someone who uses a lot of it or has the space to store it indefinitely.

Just finished a block of this stuff.  Excellent moss.  The only negative is it takes a long time to properly divide it.  I know of old posts about using a blender, but that just dosent work for me.

For me, I take either a small ax or a straight claw hammer. Use the claw of the hammer and have at it. Then you can soak for bout 10 minutes.
