Coco Bliss 650gm Bricks (5-Pack) – Organic Coco Coir for Plants – OMRI-Listed Coco Coir for Garden Soil & Potting Mixes – Coconut Fiber Mixes with Potting Soil for Indoor Plants & Outdoor Plants

Excellent product
I’ve bought this coir a number of times now, both online and in person, and it never disappoints. Each block takes nearly a gallon of water to expand, but it does so quickly, even with very cold water. It blooms to a very uniform texture that is perfect for seed starting, soil amendment, or simply planting in pots. After expansion, this is very absorbent but will not hold water to the point of drowning your plants.

High quality coir. Lovely stuff!
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. 😉😁

Great product Harbors great pest
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

Very good price. Drains extremely good. Necessary to add water retention product to mix. A great product.
