Compressed Coco Coir, 5 Pack Organic Coconut Coir, 1.4 Lbs Coco Brick, Coconut Soil with Low EC & pH Balance, Fiber for Herbs & Flowers, High Expansion, Renewable Soil for Planting

So far, I’m impressed.Unlike others out there, my bricks came in uniform size and weight. The brick was easy to use: just place in a bucket or pail and fill with water (quite a bit) and let soak for a couple hours or overnight. Once the brick has absorbed the liquid, it breaks apart easily.At first glance, the material seems to be of good consistency. Definitely retains moisture, as stated. I’m pleased with the amount of expansion, and am optimistic that it will serve its purpose for starting my seeds. Only time will tell…

Nice quality. Texture is just right for plants. Its weight is just right bc I can place it where it’s needed and water it. Expands where it’s needed.

Great component of my DIY soil mix. With regards to coco coir in general - it's easy to use. You can place a whole brick of it in a tub with water and allow it to moisten and break apart easily. It's pretty tough to break the brick apart into smaller sections, but not impossible. Coco coir is less acidic than peat moss (which some plants actually prefer but can be an issue for other houseplants), and similar with regards to absorbency and drainage.With regards to this specific product - clean (no bugs), great value for the quantity, and organized into multiple units so you don't have to break apart chunks from a massive dehydrated block of coco coir. It's conveniently stored into 5 bricks, allowing you to safely store unused bricks in their airtight plastic wrap. When comparing products, I noticed another brand that was slightly more expensive (by a few dollars) and opted to go with this brand since it was the cheapest at the time.Overall great product and price.

The Compressed Coco Coir 5 Pack is fantastic! I've been using it as a soil topper for my plants and as bedding for my worm farm, and both have shown noticeable improvements. My plants have been healthier, and my worms seem much more active. The coir is high-quality, easy to use, and has helped retain moisture while providing excellent aeration. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a natural, effective way to enhance plant growth or create a thriving worm farm! 🌱🐛🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Is does not grow as fast an as much as in the videos. However, it works really well.

2 of these bricks, when rehydrated, will almost fill a five gallon bucket. The bricks are very tightly compressed and individually wrapped in strong plastic. This is an excellent value for the price, and there is nothing like it available at the local nursery.Two thumbs up!!

My plants are thriving this year. Second year using the dirt. I purchased it again for another garden bed. I used about 6 bricks per planter and it was so much easier than buying bulk bags of soil

I use this product for seed starting. I have been very impressed with it so far - absorbs water quickly, expands to around half of a 4 gallon bucket, great sterile medium, quite fine and uniform, and super convenient to store. Per pound, not the cheapest way to buy coir, but the small blocks were worth it in convenience, especially if you are just doing a flat or two of seeds at a time and don't have a lot of storage space. As far as how well seeds grow, I'm just getting into the season, so can't give definitive answers, but my first couple batches of seeds are up and doing well. I didn't sterilize my pots, so have had some issues with mold growth on the surface if I don't top water. My yellow onion starts have struggled some with damping off - but they always do for me, so I wouldn't blame this medium - but at the same time, it didn't solve it, either. I did mix with a little organic fertilizer as there is really nothing to this stuff as far as nutrients go, and your starts are going to need something to grow on after they're up. I did no fancy treatments, just poured warm tap water on it in a bucket until it was completely expanded and mixed in a little fertilizer. Works for me - I'll buy again.
