Re: Experimenting with creating filtered coarse sand for corms

Re: Wanted: Veinte Cohol

I think so, the Zlatina, correct?

Ended up being from Davids Green farms or something.

I saw on the other post you were concerned about them being DC.

Did something cause even more concern?

Yeah It's been extremely slow. Also a flood of bots posting suspicious links too.
