I think Servo went the same way as cork bark chips....seemed like a great idea at the time....until it was put into use. I never used servo myself, although I did try bagasse once as an additive. I think that the feeling was that Servo was great for a few weeks, but then broke down too quickly...I also recall hearing that it was good for seedlings (which would get more frequent repotting anyway). At any rate, the stuff appeared on the market...then sank like a stone. I remember trying cork chips...stayed too dry at first, then rotted too fast (yet wine corks remain undecomposed in my compost forever.....). Take care, Eric Muehlbauer in stormy Queens NY....paphs primulinum and wardii in bud....
