Excellent product! Great substitute for peat moss.

I have clay ground this coconut medium has helped tremendously in up grading the garden.

It’s coco coir. If you can get a good deal on it, it makes a great addition to any garden or potting soil. I mix it with compost for my raised beds. I use it to start seeds. I much prefer coco coir to sphagnum peat moss. The peat moss gets super hydrophobic when it dries out. The coco coir does too but not nearly as bad.

As an intensive gardener doing a lot of winter sowing, I knew it was time to say goodbye to peat. Looking into what others were using, and finding no big bags at the home center, decided to try these dehydrated blocks. This was so easy: I placed the block into a big plastic bin, and covered with rain water; and as it expanded, pulled away the fluffy coir then soaked with more water. In a few hours, the bin was almost full, and I had a season's worth of soilless seed starter. It also mixed easily with topsoil (although it has great structure, moisture retention, aeration, and is pH-neutral, it provides no inherent nutrition--so needs to be mixed with supplemental nutrients for anything long-term). Great stuff.

Good product for my flowers garden!

After using, I like this coconut coir. It is a bit bulky of a block to work with (had to mix it in my wheelbarrow). But it broke down pretty easily after adding water and soaking. I like that the coir was chopped fine, so that it incorporates with soil better. I used it on some plants that I was repotting - and so far, so good!

I recently started using coconut coir in my raised beds, and the results have been outstanding. This gardening product excels in water retention, maintaining excellent aeration, and is environmentally friendly. It's easy to work with, pH-neutral, and simplifies weed control. In a nutshell, coconut coir has improved my gardening experience, boosting both yield, plant health and soil quality. I highly recommend it to fellow gardeners – it's a true ally for raised bed gardening.

Breaks up nicely, speaks up water and holds humidity well. Goes a long ways, used for 2 40 gallon enclosures. Great product, good price.
