Organic Coco Coir 1 Pcs Compressed Coconut Coir Brick Coconut Fiber Husk Substrate Mulch Coconut Bark Core Growing Medium Peat Moss Soil High Nutrition for Plants Gardening Seed Starting Soil Mix

I’m trying to end my love/hate relationship with rockwool. I heard good things from a friend and decided to try this coir. The bocks are very convenient but didn’t expand as much as I thought and was finer cut/grind than I expected. I use it with hydroponic drip system 75/25 with perlite. That mix has worked out very well. I had to add screens to the pump and drain because bits of coir washed out of the pots, especially at first. At this point it works fine, now that the initial washout is over and screens are in place. I probably will go with a different medium for drip systems because of the washout mess, but would happily use it other types of hydroponics or aeroponics as a starter medium. Even though some of what I wrote seems negative, any issues were a result of my lack of understanding about the product. I went in hoping for something like rockwool, but safe and compostable. Coir is not that. I will happily use it again for some applications now that I know what to expect from the coir bricks. I don’t have enough experience with coir to recommend it vs other brands of coir. All I can say is my plants are thriving.

Great for a composting toilet and i also add the coir in my garden both.

I live in a tiny apartment in public housing. Carrying dirt home from a hardware store isn't really convenient; especially with wonky elevators! I tell you this stuff is GREAT. One brick fills a small pot, my plants are LOVING IT. I'm growing prickly pear, sweet potatoes & ginger and they are all thriving like you would not believe (I use Jobe's plant spikes too but even without the Jobe's the plants were doing quite well!). Yeah from now on I will only use this stuff, no reason to use dirt when this is available, and this stuff holds together nicely doesn't blow around out on the porch! I'm quite chuffed about this product.

I use this for my house plants and it works really well. It holds more moisture and I just create my own mix from it

I mix this with orchid bark, Perlite, and horticultural charcoal for my Monstera (I also use it for Dracaena). It absorbs water well. I usually break up the lumps with my hands to speed up the absorption of water. I have not found any foreign trash in the two bricks that I have purchased. The second brick seemed to be a bit more powdery than the first one.

Comes as a small, solid brick which is easy to store. Then mix with potting soil by pre-soaking in a bucket of water until it crumbles readily. I find it prevents root rot and drainage.

DOES NOT EXPAND AS ADVERTISED. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! DOES NOT HOLD ONTO WATER! LEAKS LIKE CRAZY! DO NOT USE IN GROW BAGS! YOU'LL BE STUCK WATERING MORE OFTEN AND IF YOU USE SEAL CONTAINER, YOU'LL GET WATERLOG WITH ROOT ROT.

The bricks were so compact It was difficult for them to expand in water. Had to make multiple attempts with applying water and they did not still expand to its possible full size indicated.

This coco coir is a good product,it worked well in the soil I made to start my peppers.

Convenient growing media. It comes as described... a compressed brick, I used my hands to break off just enough for my needs and a it does expand when watered, but not as much as peat. I use it to top off soil for tropical plants and to grow cat grass. Does both well, especially for cat grass.

Emballage a revoir et les briques son passablement molle ce qui ne devrait être le cas. Sinon quand même.bon produits

Didn't notice the expanded volume, but there's no weird smell, just reminiscent of coconut. I've been making my own potting mix from coir for a couple of years, just wet, mix with some perlite and add plant food. Unlike bags of moist potting mix, it doesn't come with a population of fungus gnats. Awesome stuff.

This product helps keep your soil moist and loose, when mixed together with the soil. Compact enough to store or transport.
