Verdana Coco Coir Brick Potting Mix – 5 Lb Pack - 4X 1.25 Lb Compressed Bricks - Coconut Fiber, Coco Peat - Alternative to Peat Moss – Soilless Growing Medium - Low EC, Optimum pH, High Expansion

I’m really impressed with this coco coir. I use it to add to soils for my succulents, cacti, houseplants and trees. It’s environmentally friendly, which is nice as an alternative to peat moss.It’s difficult to divide, if you’re not using a whole brick at a time, but I’ve found a saw works well to divide the bricks. If you’re using bricks at a time, just add water and stir for a great soil mix for tropicals by itself, or as a soil additive.I mix 50% of this with 50% perlite as a soil mix to germinate seeds, and have great success. It falls apart fairly easily when you’re transplanting, so you have easier access to just the plant and root structure.Additionally, some reviews mentioned a chemical smell. I do not have this issue. My coco coir dried bricks have no noticeable smell, and only smell like wet coconut husks when moist. My plants love this, so I’m satisfied with the product. I’ll definitely be buying more when I run out.

Buy it!An absolute must if you are growing microgreens! I simply get a cookie sheet and put down my white strainer tray and put in it. I add water to the the cookie sheet.I get another large bowl, I put my brick in it, I add water little by little breaking off as muck as I need. It’s really just this easy. As soon as the water hit it is turn into mulch!I did 4 trays with about a little bit of the brick! I was going broke buying the strips to line my trays!If you grow anything that needs a liner , you need these bad boys ... you won’t find anything on the market that is this cheap and no, I was not paid for this review... I am a new to micro growing and was about to give up because it just was cost effective till now!!!

I don’t use chemicals on our property anymore for the safety of out animals and the wildlife. This product is amazing. Not only does it mix well with soul, it helps keep my plants and flowers moist and around the area is weed free wherever this is! I love it! Mix it with the soil your planting in! I also planted seeds and bulbs outside and mixed this in and they grew beautifully!

The product is excellent and delivers as most coir products when it comes to potted/potting plants - the media for growing things (with soil supplements) consistently outperforms garden soil - clay for me. :/Purchased this based on price thinking it was a great deal only to find it being half the size I’d purchased the year before. After blending (50/50), it filled just over four one-gallon pots. I’m using 20 pots in this year’s garden, most bigger than a gallon … seriously not enough. Will buy again in the future, but only in 10 lb. sizes.

Very light weight and easy to use. I just addded water and watched it expand.

Good quality coconut coir. I have a small worm farm of European worms. This coir works well to get them sorted and divided after a long Winter.

Perfect for my indoor herb garden. I mix 75% coconut fiber and 25% ph neutral black soil.

I have a large raised bed garden, and four 27 gallon planters. I wish these came in larger bundles. They work great, and I have no complaints about the product. I just should have purchased 2. I didn't want to end up with a lot to store.
