Default Orchid Bark - do I nuke it?
Got a 75 litre bag of Orchid bark today. Does it need heating up and if so can I microwave it rather than waiting for the oven and for how long? If not what temp and for how long in the oven?

Ive put it at 200 for 45 mins before. make sure its wrapped in tin foil or you will burn all exposed peices of bark.

i would also freeze it after but im just paranoid
