Premium Coco Coir Brick - 10 Pound / 4.5KG Coconut Coir - 100% Organic and Eco-Friendly - OMRI Listed - Natural Compressed Growing Medium - Potting Soil Substrate for Gardens, Seeds and Plants

This coir is better priced than the other coir I buy, and I buy it for containers, to amend my beds, and any application where I don't need a "fine" product. This is too coarse/stringy for seedlings and the seedlings I have planted using this product struggle to push through. If you're needing to refresh or repot containers, this is more than adequate. It breaks down easily with plenty of water in a large vat. I'll keep buying this but only for those instances where seedlings are not an issue. Also makes for a good base for my worm bins.

I had no idea what I was doing so I went at this thing like a mad man. I tried beating, sawing and chopping but I couldn’t get this stuff to break. The best way to get this apart was to put it into a Rubbermaid (or equivalent) tote and fill it with water. You should scrape the outer layers off every 30 minutes or more. Water won’t soak into this very far as it is so tightly compressed. It seems counterintuitive to get this wet but it is the right way. If you get it too wet, just spread it out and fluff it occasionally, it’ll dry out. This brick is extremely compressed so it was shocking to see how much coconut coir I ended up with. I’m using it for a composting toilet that I built and I have enough to last at least 10-12 months from this 1 block. I definitely suggest this product. I plan to use this in my gardening as well as I’ve read that it’s great to mix into your garden’s soil instead of using peat moss which is quickly being mined into extinction.

I was very impressed with this! Small package but big product! Watered it and broke it apart with my hands. It just kept growing! I'll definitely order one again this fall and or next spring!

I just received the brick of Premium Coco Coir coconut coir.The shipping weight on the box it arrived in states it weighed 10 pounds shipping weight.After I took it out of the box, I weighed it. 9.10 pounds.I now see in other reviews that others have received less than the stated 11 pounds.I won't be ordering again.

I purchased this a few years back. I mix it in with my potting soil and my plants are thriving. A friend who gardens on a much larger scale asked me about it….so I purchased this last one for her. She thanked me with a pot with an oregano plant using this product. My reason for 4 stars, not five……it’s incredibly difficult to separate.
