I was visiting garden centers both organic and almost organic this weekend in prep to going out & spending a little $$ next weekend.
1 I have seen several different Orange Oils
OrangeGuard
TKO
Medina
Several Others
Any info on these good or Bad is there any difference

2 At 2 of the almost organic centers they have coconut fiber. And am concerned this may have went off the list of organic amendments to good potting soil or mulch

Regarding orange oil, these are good products, but the orange oil on the market is not all the same. Some are more pure and better quality than others.

Coconut fiber is recommended, and it also can be found at various qualities. One of Howard's favorite potting soils contains coconut fiber:

You have some great choices in your area. Check out Green Gardens off Main. They are under new owners and John Palmer (owner) is working with me to get there organics going.
He can get you straight coconut fiber as well as the Soil Mender potting soil containing the fiber. Let him know I sent you there and he can order anything you might need as he is just getting the nursery going.

As far as orange oils go, several are good for cleaning projects. The others are horticultural oils that will clean, but I test them first for stain removals, because they can leave a residue. I prefer the Medina Orange oil, it seems the most consistant!
