Substrate vendors?

[katsucats]

Norman's in Montclair has decently sized bags of fir bark for $20. Probably not as good as SVO's kiwi bark, but it's also closer and cheaper. Also, I once purchased some random media (e.g. lava rocks, etc.) to give them a try from Bonsai Jack. Decent value at least compared to other sites at the time. Free shipping. $34 for a 2 gallon bag (12 pounds) seems to be a sweet spot.
