Good bark

Pretty impressed. In the two products I’ve ordered from here (this being one of them) I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and attention to detail.

For something so simple it seems decent soil ingredients are hard to find in Bunnings and Perth in general (from my experience) so I was quite ecstatic when this showed up alright and not overly moist/wet like others I’ve tried.

You can tell these guys are real plant lovers and care about what they do. My one critique I guess is how many emails they send. There’s already so many promotional emails & it feels like they sent a million “how was your order” emails after finishing. I ended up putting them on mute because it gave me a headache. Love y’all tho

Good product

Delivery was prompt, good communication from the store, and the product I received was as pretty as a bag of bark can be. The complimentary sachet of rooting powder was a nice addition.
At over $15 I that the delivery fee was a little steep though
