Large size coco husk chips?

Anyone know where I can buy large size coconut husk chips? Everywhere I go to look for them, the "large" size looks medium (dime) size to me. That's smaller than I want.

I'd like some not too much smaller than a quarter.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks, Katrina. I did check with Repotme. Their picture of large chunks shows what I believe is a dime for comparison. I need quarter-size chunks.

I couldn't find any statement of how big they are except for the "dime". What makes you say they are 3/4" to 1"?

Maybe my eyes are failing (very likely), but the link you provide shows chunks with what I believe to be is a quarter. The description at...

Large Coconut Husk Chips

...says the chips are 3/4 - 1 inch in size. I have both medium and large here at home, and the large are definitely larger than a dime! Hope this helps.

Thanks, Katrina and phalaephila. I see the 3/4-1" claim now. Middle-aged eyes, I guess

Thanks, FlBob, nice to know they really are that size. I ordered some from one vendor last summer where I had bought the big stuff before, but got about 1/2" or so. I need the big chips this time.

Thanks again, everyone.

Looks like I'm a bit late to get back here. Yep...description gave the size plus, I've used it...and liked it quite well. There will be some smaller pieces in the bag but for the most part it's all pretty large.
