Your first option would be to order it from HB www.hawaiianbotanicals.com/Your second option is to ask people on the forum, lots of people have extra of at least a little to start a collection. And your third option is to find a local bog and go collect it yourself. This option is the most fun but you get dirty.

HB does not seems to be selling any these days, its been a while since the website is "under maintenance" well at least that part of the website, and asking people around when you are new to the forum ain't that ez Thx for the quick answer tho.

Jack and Jeanie are still selling it, send them an email. I think it's about 8$ per 3-litre bag. Certainly not expensive, and think what you can do with 3 litres of the stuff. . . I have a couple trays of moss that I've been growing for a few months... unfortunately, it's not ready just yet for shipping out. If you're still looking for moss later in the year, shoot me a PM and I'll see if I can help. . . If the bog is protected or you don't have permission from the landowner, don't collect it... but in a huge peat bog where sphagnum grows abundantly, I don't see how a handful would hurt. Plus, it grows quickly in cultivation - provided you can grow it successfully. Help a big man on the mtl south shore and tell me where i can find one of those bog haha, idc getting dirty it is my least concern! Thx for the info btw!
