Coco Chips

Does anyone in Oz know where to get decent coco chips that are actually chips and not half chips and the rest stringy.
When we first started using it it was actually all chips , now its all rubbish

Hi Steve, Orchidmate, it is pretty good, chunky with very little flat pieces.
I love and recomend it and my plants love it
Just remember to rinse it several times before using it.
To get rid of any salt in the mix
