[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 126784, member: 27677"] Not sure about the one tarantula bit mate, but it's hard to recommend brands on the Internet, the same product may be branded differently in different countries . I had thought Brunnings products were imported as they are cheap and often found in the "$2 shops" which are usually full of cheap imported cr.p. Most likely the Brunnings products carry the brand name Gardman overseas just as the Gardman products are sold here as Brunnings brands. I'm not that interested in doing major research on it, it's just that after testing different brands of coir peat, that is the one I'd recommend because it is ground to a fine consistency and doesn't contain clumps of long coarse fibres like all of the other brands do in their larger blocks. Here Brunnings coir peat blocks are even sold in Woolworth supermarkets, so if the OP happened to see Brunnings or Gardman coir peat ,I'd say buy it; but don't make it a lifequest! I'm sure it's not the be all end all of coco peat, it's just the best one here. And about a third or less of the price of the ones at the pet shop that look to be, and probably are the exact same thing with nice pictures of reptiles etc on the label. [/QUOTE]
