aletta Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 udon,it would appear that in the 20,000 odd tv members there are bugger all gardeners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buadhai Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Well, I'm a gardner but I stick to orchids, lotus and lilies. We make nearly weekly forays to a nursery neighborhood outside of Korat and I have never seen vermiculite or perlite there. However, we did recently purchase an orchid handbook, in Thai, published here, which recommended both of those potting media. So, they must be readily available. Perhaps Tesco/Lotus stocks them. Next time I'm there I'll look and check the price for you. For orchids, I stick to dried coconut husk which I get for free from a neighbor who produces coconut oil. Potting soil rich in organic matter which, although not sterile, is fine for ordinary cuttings and is available for about 20 baht for five kilos, I believe.

loong Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hi Udon AFM Group in Chiang Mai can supply vermiculite and perlite by mail order. Not sure of quantities, but 55 Baht for a bag. Plus postage. They supply other stuff for gardeners, but I'm not particularly impressed with the quality of the seeds. Apart from being reluctant to germinate, no instructions on the packs at all. I can't remember, but there may be a 1000 Baht minimum order. Best contact them by email and they can maybe help you. Let us know how you get on. Cheers Loong Here is the link http://www.afmgroup.com/details.asp?prodid...07&path=207,107 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udon Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 Thanks guys. I need to know as I don't want to haul a load to LOS if it's easy to buy locally. A 100l bag is 5' long and about 15" diameter for A$20 and that's for medium or coarse granules, coarse preferred. A bag for 55b would be quite small, I should imagine.

loong Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I haven't bought vermiculite or perlite from AFM so have no idea how big the bag is. Send them an email, I'm sure they will tell you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
