Legigo Pack of 10 Organic Coco Coir Bricks- 100% Natural Compressed Coco Peat Brick Coconut Fiber Substrate with Low EC&pH Balance, Plant Soil Enhance Root Growth for Herbs, Flowers, House Plants

I decided to mix my own seed starting blend using coco coir, perlite, and vermiculite instead of buying a pre-made bag, and it turned out great. The coco coir fluffed up nicely after hydrating and broke apart easily. It has a clean, earthy feel and makes a great base. Once I blended in perlite and vermiculite, the texture was exactly what I was going for. Light, airy, and easy to work with. The perlite adds drainage and keeps the mix from compacting, while the vermiculite helps hold just enough moisture so the trays do not dry out too quickly. When you grab a handful, it holds together slightly but falls apart easily. That is perfect for delicate seedlings that need airflow around their roots. I filled multiple seed trays with this mix and it distributes evenly without clumping. It feels balanced and professional grade, but made at home. If you like having control over your soil inputs and want something tailored for seed starting, this combination works really well.

They expand a lot! Make sure you use a container that is big enough. You may be surprised how much soil you will end up with after they absorb all the water. I haven't seen any unwanted particles or trash in these bricks. You can get perlite, vermiculite, coco chunks, compost, etc. and make your own mix. I mix these with perlite and have had 100% germination rate with good seeds. It keeps a lot of water and can suffocate your plants if you don't use an amendment to aerate it. The moisture can also be a good environment for fungus gnats and can cause damping off disease. Bottom water after seeds sprout.

It doubles in size after you add water. It is BETTER than potting soil and very nutrient dense for growing plants. This product HOLDS MOISTURE in the soil better and longer than conventional potting soil - so it is good for water conservation. I spent HOURS researching the best price and this is the best deal. I am a long time loyal customer and will buy it again and again. Coconut coir has everything you need to grow crops. I do not have a car and got fed up dragging heavy bags of potting soil home from the store in rolling carts. Because this is a dehydrated product it is lightweight. This is MUCH BETTER for the environment that potting soil - most potting soil is NOT from renewable green sources - such as peat moss which is dug up from the ground in a destructive non-environmental manner - peat moss takes about a century to create - it is from ancient peat bogs in the ground and dug up to sell as peat moss. Perlite in potting soil is heated at around 800 degrees and TERRIBLE carbon footprint. Coconut coir is the shell and hairy fibers on the shell which left over after fresh coconut is harvested and cracked open for processing as a food product. Buy purchasing Coconut coir we are eliminating WASTE by using the shell for a good purpose.

The coir part is decent. There were a few pieces of plastic ribbon stuff. When I went to soak and rinse I was surprised by the sand content. If you skim the coco coir off the top of the water and reach down into the bucket there was maybe 3 tablespoons of beach sand in a brick. No soil and pretty darn clean, great stuff. But if you’re avoiding sand in a potting mix make sure to let it settle out onto the bottom in water. I include it to hold more moisture but make sure to agitate the sand to loosen any salt that might be trapped.

TERRIFFIC for clay soil imorovement used by 88 yr old gardener so small bricks are so convenient

EXCELLENT QUALITY GREASE-LIGHTNING SHIPPING, OUTSTANDING SELLER, AN ASSET TO AMAZON!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!

These bricks smell like chlorine when expanded and they have killed off the worms in my worm farm. I have since attempted to rinse the coir multiple times, then bake it dry in the sun, and it still has a chlorine smell. I unfortunately ordered more of this brand before figuring this out. All of the bricks I have opened so far smell like chlorine when I add my reverse osmosis filtered water to expand the bricks. I ignored the smell at first and started my worm bin with them. I was confused why the worm bin wasn't flourishing. I switched to shredded cardboard and finally realized it was this coir that was killing the worms. I wish I had made the connection sooner, now I have a lot of unusable bricks of coir. After switching to shredded cardboard, I have noticed the layer of coir was virtually untouched for months while the upper regions of the bin are now thriving without this coir.

THIS is the best brand of coconut fiber brick ever! It works quickly with water, I’m not waiting forever for it do it’s thing. It really helps as an additive for my medium to keep it moist longer, plus it aerates the soil for root growth!

Love the product. Seedlings are happy in this type of material, plants thrive!!

Good quality, value for money

Works great. Rehydrates well

Great product, neutral scent, tightly compressed. Purchased this product twice and very pleased with it.

Great price, and good quality! I have used about half of them so far and haven't found any plastic pieces which I often find in other brands. Perfect for my spring seedlings :)
