Coco Bliss Coco Coir - Compressed Coco Coir Bricks with Low EC and pH Balance - High Expansion Coco Fiber for Herbs, Flowers, Planting - OMRI Listed Renewable Coconut Soil (650 Grams, 5 Bricks)

I’ve been using these blocks for my soil for years now. It’s the base for nearly all of my 80 plants, along with perlite and, depending on the plant, some other soil amendments. Good drainage, not dusty, solid amount when you rehydrate (I think I do around 4 L per block), cheap compared to store bought potting solid and you get a ton of quantity once hydrated. I just keep it in a large vittle fault premixed once hydrate. Yes, it does smell a bit when hydrating, but that dissipates.

Great product. I purchased galvanized raised beds. To fill them I put down cardboard first, then bark, then the coco coir. Mixed in some compost. I had great results growing tomatoes, beans, radishes, lettuce, squash, peas and carrots. I will definitely buy again.

I use coir for gardening, vermicomposting, and growing starts. These are coir blocks. There's not a lot to note in description especially if you're familiar with this wonder. I've used well over a dozen from these folks and not once found chunks of unprocessed materials - which has happened with far more pricey garden center single blocks. They enthusiastically (QUICKLY!**) and comprehensively rehydrate and it just makes me happy every time. This coir rehydrates without any greasy residue on water surface or odd smell, which I've experienced with lesser quality products. This means I felt, and continue to feel, secure using it in my vermicomposting as well. For me, this is a soil addition that's *well* worth its cost in hanging on to liquid gold - water. This helps my container plants especially - as I live in an area where triple digits are the norm through the growing season. A generous addition of this means the difference between twice or single daily watering on the small containers which has several benefits. For anybody unfamiliar with coir, I find it also makes a much better medium addition than peat for starting seedlings. In my local climate peat moss plugs dry out too fast and well, making unhappy seedlings in their water repellant cubes. For the seedlings I do purchase, a little cocoon of this all around helps the roots grow past the peat = and then they can find water. So I'm here once again to stock up for next year because this amazing, versatile, RENEWABLE product also doesn't expire or go 'bad', you just need to keep it dry. Not that getting it wet spoils it, but it might do in the container. **The rehydrating thing- if you haven't used this stuff the blocks expand a LOT and a small bucket won't do. Even a 5 gallon bucket should be watched and keep the brick upright! Rehydrating goes very fast and the brick will want to fall over and before you realize it's capsized.... It is capable of deforming the bucket into an impressive oval before it shatters. Trust me. 😉😁 UPDATE: Still buying from this seller! Dependable quality, still excellent price point.

Re-hydrated very well. I used 8 cups of boiling water and heat resistance silicone glove to re-hydrated in a oven safe bag. Scrapped off the hydrated layer every 2 cups of water. No issue with dust and oven bag handle the heat very well.

This is a great product, that is simple to use and there is absolutely no odor, unless your water is stinky. The value is such that it keeps me coming back year after year . I use this product with a course vermiculite. I grow indoor annuals under lights. The Coco coir is perfect, light and holds moisture extremely well. I have started to mix in diatomaceous earth powder in the top 2 inches of my soil tops. This is an inert amendment designed to provide a physical defense against the larvae that hatched from the eggs that are in the dried Coco coir. Yes all the bricks are laden with eggs from fungus gnats. This is my only organic material. I introduced nothing else. Every time fungus gnats, hence The addition of the diatomaceous earth. I’m happy now no bugs, diatomaceous earth is just nothing more than vermiculite powder that is very sharp (on a microscopic size) and will cut the skin of the larvae killing them before they become adults that can fly in your garden and then your house, Laying more eggs, watch out. Diatomaceous earth is a safe (just don’t breathe the dust)good product also cheap. Sprinkle a good amount to make your soil white when you mix it and that it will have a white milky runoff when watered this seems to be enough to stop this nasty pest. Sorry but it’s true Plantonix, but it’s OK I wouldn’t want any insecticides in the Coco-coir, maybe just a warning. Most people hate bugs, the larvae nibble on the roots, they are a pest unwanted it in the indoor garden. Have a bottle of Neem oil spray on hand for your aerial defense, this pest can be a worthy adversary, you probably could microwave the Coco core when it’s wet before you use it or possibly bake it to kill off the eggs
