Where to get cocohips
 
Hi..Anyone knows where to get them???? Since lots of growers use it and apparently i heard its cheaper then my usual mix of LFS.....I stay in the kepong KL area so does anyone knows the nearest source???:confused::1thumbup: Though i heard they decompose/breakdown faster than LFS..

Go to market where the "Santan"~coconut milk~ store is. Usually they have some husk. Ask them where they sell it to. You may have to hack it to small pieces like I do. Good exercise. That's off the top of my head.

I mean those in the market where they use OLD coconet flesh to make santan. If I am not mistaken, you are not a wet market person.
