Plantonix Coco Bliss Premium Coconut Coir Pith Soil Amendment, 5 Bricks, 1.6 cu ft

I thought I would need to incorporate potting mix to stretch the Cococoir bricks but I did not need to do anything except add water. Hot water is best as it is easily absorbed and takes less time. Just break up any big chunks and you are good to go!

The brand I trust! I bought 🧱 smaller bricks because these break down faster for small projects like filling my potatoes 🥔 grow bags indoors. Great medium for gardening soil mix, requires less watering and

it takes about 2 1/2 gal of water for each brick. Leave rest for a day or so. Mix it up it looks like an over the top composite soil mix. My herbs are loving it.

In another review, someone said to add 2 and 1/2 gallons of water. Too much for one of these blocks so had to add one more block to the bucket. Still had to drain some water, so I would suggest starting with less than a gallon and go from there. This is a great product. Storage is sure better than having big bags of compost. I'm predicting that all of my garden beds will be able to be much enriched with this purchase.

Something good for a change. Since peat is not easily renewed this product has taken its place. Ease of use = A Moistens easily and evenly for use. Much less messy than peat.

Great to stretch soil for raised beds. It's a bit tricky to expand (don't overcrowd the bricks in a bucket of water) but works as it should. Good price and quick shipping

Have always liked this product. Especially with the blocks so I only have to do part of it and not the whole thing.

concidering this item is only a byproduct that would have been thrown away 5 years ago... it is too expensive as it is now everywhere.

Takes some time to soak but that's the only way to unpack the brick. Take your time, add additional water as needed to continue to break the brick, adding too much water will leave you with coconut hair soup amd it will take weeks to dry it out. You will have to add nutrients if you don't mix it with soil, it has no nutrient value on its own, but it does add volume to your potting needs and will manage water flow since it won't recompile.

So far I've opened three bricks of this order of coir. They rehydrated, and easier to handle than one single huge brick; but they all smelled like boat fuel. I've used about 3-4 different coir brands in the past but never had this fuel odor before. Also, one of the bricks had several bird feathers, which was a little unnerving and disheartening.
