Coco & Coir Organic Peat-free Coir Compost | Natural Coco Soil Potting Mix | Coconut Fibre Reptile Substrate Bedding - Coco Grow (75L)

easy to use, and works well for my plants. Great value for the price.

great!!!

Extremely good stuff,my seedlings loved. Easy to rehydrate and boy, there was lots! You'll need a biiiig tub for it! Its very thirst so youll need way more water than you think and I highly recommend warm water at that

I use this for my portaloo in my van. Yes, I wee onto it.It beats cat litter by far, is light weight, and doesn't harbour any smells.Only downside is its hard work and time consuming getting it from the solid state it comes in to the lightweight soil texture needed.

I've bought this multiple times. I used it mainly to bulk up my compost. It creates great drainage.It's supposed to retain moisture and it does, but when it dries then it's rock solid. I've never had a good experience using it for seedlings or moisture-loving plants. It is recommended for seedlings since it has no nutrients, as a peat alternative for the same purpose as peat. With seedlings they seem to suffocate, it stays moist ages, maybe too long but seems too SOLID to let airflow when by itself. Multiple seedlings have rotted in it. Then I forget about it since it never needs water top up, then it gets ROCK HARD and won't accept any water I give it, so plants dry out! Once it dries out, it WILLL not let water back in!!! So hard to get water to the plant. ALSO, getting a plant out of it to repot with proper compost, it's IMPOSSIBLE to get the coir off as it's gone solid. Maybe soaking in water before will help but I'd rather not. You can see it comes as a brick, it's ROCK HARD til it is soaked in water, then nice and fluffy but you can't necessarily do that with every plant when you want to repot it... and you DO want to take off the coir before repotting if the coir has got SOLID hard around the roots... since the roots don't seem to get water. One or the other. Too wet for ages, locking moisture in without oxygen flow, or too hard and locking moisture out.What I DOOOO love it for hence 5 stars, is.... inexpensive media which works GREAT when MIXED with compost, perlite or peat. Bulks up compost, creates coarse material for drainage and airflow (as long as compost is blended with it, it's sort of hay-ish..rough ). I mix 50% compost, 30% Coco coir, 20% perlite and that's a happy mix for me. :)

Very good quality and really good value for money.

So so pleased with this, it has a really nice texture once it’s all expanded, you can tell it’s going to be beneficial for root development.Having had awful experiences with seed compost I’ll never use anything else now. And it’s really satisfying to watch it expand and suck up all the water.You get a lot more thank you think and it’s easier to store than tons of bags of compost.The fact that you can expand bits of it when you need it is perfect.I really love this stuff.

I decided to give this coir a try, and in no time sterted using it for home-made potting mixes, soil amendment, as worm bedding in my vermicomposter and as mulch. It is Ph neutral (I actually tested it), and works great. As mulch and soil amendment it retains it texture well overtime, but of course needs renewing.For general potting I mix 1/3 coir, 1/3 sharp (coarse) sand, and 1/3 compost or well-rotten manure. Works very well.I "dissolved" my first cube in 20L water in my garden barrow, and it filled the whole barrow. I used some of it for my new vermicomposter,the rest I covered with a dust sheet and left in the barrow for a week to dry out a bit, giving it a good turn over once in a while. Such a gorgeous texture! I can understand why the worms love it. I love having my hands in it :)The remaining coir I put in an plastic bag (from compost) and in the dry shed, and used it up as needed. It stayed fresh and didn't go mouldy or smelly. A canvas or jute bag would work great, as it'd be breathable.I broke the second cube apart and "soak" as much at a time as I need, it's easier to store.This is a great product.
