Thanks. I looked this up and none of the Big Box outfits in this area seem to carry it. Amazon has it, but the shipping is a killer!

I also ran across an ad for Miracle Gro "Expand 'n Gro" (coir) + fertilizer. They tried this a couple of years ago, and evidently didn't sell well, so they discontinued it. It's back, and I'll probably try it if I find it locally. I bought some last time around, and was quite pleased with it. It will be interesting to see if anything is different, or if they now believe that more people will find coir acceptable.
