Carolyn,
I get it from the nursery, or a fish store would work. I am NOT familiar
with lump charcoal, if it is not processed for bbq's, I imagine it would be
fine. "Raw" charcoal is what you want, it is the chemicals that they add to
bbq that will affect the plants. It's also the stuff that will kill you,
along with the co2 deprivation, if you burn in an enclosed area.
Wish I could come to the convention/meeting... going orchid hunting tomorrow
in Dallas tho... and a list member has graciously donated some La's so I
dont have to go back on my word to BUY any--- just need space for them, but
I WILL find it. You guys are great!!
