Natural, unfertilised coir compost

This Coco & Coir is fantastic stuff! I bought it for creating my own potting mixes for houseplants, especially my tropicals, and it's been brilliant. One of the things I love is how compact the bricks are for storage – they save so much room compared to traditional bags of compost. I just rehydrate one brick at a time as needed, which is really easy to do, and then keep the expanded coir in a sealed tub ready for use. The bricks are really clean – no unwanted bits or pieces – and they expand to a surprisingly large amount of coir. A little definitely goes a long way! Mixed with a couple of other ingredients, it creates a beautifully light and airy substrate that my plants are loving. The fact that it's organic and peat-free is a huge bonus too. It provides great aeration and decent water retention, which is ideal for keeping roots healthy. Really pleased with the quality and will be my go-to for coir from now on. Pros: ~ Very clean and high-quality coir. ~ Space-saving brick form – easy to store. ~ Expands significantly, great value. ~ Perfect for creating airy, well-draining potting mixes. ~ Organic and peat-free. ~ Easy to rehydrate one brick at a time. Cons: ~ None at all, it's top-notch!

Very practical for storage & easy to make up as needed batches of compost, just add water. I do in a bucket as easier & makes a good 3/4 bucketfull. I've been using as a seed starter, for potting on seedlings into small pots or to top up larger pots & been successful. Reasonably priced compared to buying bags of potting compost, so had a few packs over the last few years. Very practical to save space as well.

I've been purchasing this product 2x times in the last 2 years. The blocks are clean, no pests or unwanted residues, and it expands even with ambient temp water! It has worked for me very well as main medium, given you know what are you doing/feeding to the plant. After a month of learning of properly maintain a good PH and nutrient intake, when paired with perlite and a little bit of normal compost, this is incredible. Last year I decided to ditch compost at all and use only coco coir plus other amendments. This is not ideal if you don't know what you're doing, as you're fully responsible of the plant intake of nutrients. Long story short, I have strawberries, parsley, basil and tomatoes and the grew beautifully in this medium. I'd suggest to wash a little bit for the first time, as it seems lower nutrient intake due probably to salt residue or too much potassium (I've used hot water to expand blocks, and this may release some salt or potassium). This caused some yellowing to the seedling leaves and purple leaves in tomatoes seedlings. When used for first time, it smell a little bit like wood (lignine), which is normal. After months of use you can recreate a very good soil life in it, and you can tell by smelling it (it's like wet soil after raining). To achieve this I've used seaweed fertiliser and liquid worm casting as well as good drainage with perlite and additional nutrient with volcanic rock dust. Very satisfied. I still have 4 blocks left! Only little con for me is when I need less than a full block for potting. I need to cut with a small saw to get the quantity I need (I counted a liter every 2cm of block, as it's 18cm long). But when stored takes. very little space and it's super light.

Coco coir is good quality but a bit pricey, it's easy to use and size of one brick is perfect for my need.

Really pleased with this compost. Loved how it expanded when water was added. I sieved it before use. Definitely buy again. And great it is in blocks. Very handy. Mixed it with perlite and vermiculite to make a seed compost.

As an environmentally-conscious gardener, I've been on the lookout for sustainable alternatives to traditional growing mediums, and the Coco Coir Blocks x6 have exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The first thing that caught my attention is the eco-friendly nature of these blocks. Made from the fibrous husks of coconuts, they are a renewable and biodegradable alternative to peat moss and soil. Knowing that I'm reducing my carbon footprint while nurturing my plants brings me immense satisfaction. Upon hydrating the blocks, I was impressed by their expansion capacity. Each compact block expands to a generous volume of nutrient-rich coconut coir, providing ample growing space for my plants. This not only saves storage space but also ensures that I have a sustainable, long-lasting growing medium at my disposal. One of the standout features of Coco Coir is its excellent water retention and aeration properties. Unlike traditional soil, which can become compacted and waterlogged, coco coir maintains the perfect balance of moisture and air, promoting healthy root development and preventing water-related issues such as root rot. Furthermore, Coco Coir is naturally resistant to pests, pathogens, and fungal growth, providing a clean and sterile environment for my plants to thrive. This reduces the need for chemical pesticides and fungicides, aligning with my commitment to organic gardening practices. I've also found Coco Coir to be incredibly versatile. Whether I'm starting seeds, transplanting seedlings, or growing mature plants, it adapts seamlessly to various stages of the growing process. Its neutral pH ensures compatibility with a wide range of plant species, from delicate herbs to robust vegetables. In terms of value, the Coco Coir Blocks x6 offer unbeatable bang for the buck. With six blocks in each package, I have an ample supply to last through multiple growing seasons. Considering its durability and reusability, it's a wise investment for any gardener looking to maximize their yields while minimizing their environmental impact. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Coco Coir Blocks x6 to fellow gardeners who are seeking a sustainable, high-performance growing medium. Its eco-friendly nature, exceptional water retention, pest resistance, and versatility make it a must-have for anyone looking to cultivate healthy, thriving plants while treading lightly on the planet.

Value for money and really helped in hanging baskets to keep moisture balanced and plamts healthy

Great quality and easy to use. I have been using it mainly for houseplants and have had no issues. I get a big bucket (I’ve added a photo as you need quite a big bucket as it makes a fair amount of soil) and then add rainwater from my outdoor water butt and then just mix with big wooden spoon until it is moist and crumbly. I’ve also had no problems with soil flies that you sometimes get with soil. It’s very convenient as the bricks are easy to store and move about esp if you had a a flat you don’t need to humph huge bags of soil about that weigh a ton. I’ve added a photo of some Rosemary I’ve taken cuttings from and all seem healthy. Only drawback is once you have ‘made’ soil you would either need to use it all or find some way of storing it. I tend to wait till I need to repot multiple plants so I can use an entire brick up.

Diese Erde ist das Beste, dass ich je verwendet habe! Löst sich sofort, sobald der erste Tropfen Wasser daraufkommt. Keine Kleberückstände vom Etikett auf dem Brikett. Es bleiben keine unlöslichen, harte Brocken über, alles löst sich optimal. Das einzige das ich erwähnen muss - obwohl das ist sicher von der Verwendung abhängig - ich musste pro Brikett noch ca. 1,5 l Wasser hinzugeben. Das war aber absolut kein Problem, die Flüssigkeit wurde aufgesogen und die Erde hatte die notwendige Feuchtigkeit erreicht.

Snabb leverans mycket bra produkter.

Come sempre consegna rapida del prodotto. La fibra di cocco è un substrato naturale organico a PH stabile, dall'ottimo drenaggio, ben areato, che riesce a trannere in modo efficace l'umidità; è inoltre ecologico e riciclabile. Il substrato in fibra di cocco può essere utilizzato puro o mescolato con altri substrati. Trovato comodissimo avere il quantitativo diviso in 6 panetti separati. Personalmente ho utilizzato 4 litri d'acqua per un panetto, lasciato riposare per circa 15 minuti e la fibra di cocco era pronta per essere utilizzata. Ottima qualità a giusto prezzo.

En brique parfaite pour le bon volume.

Me gusta como con una cantidad de agua, (mejor caliente, Aunque da un poco igual) aumenta en una proporción exagerada, luego lo mezclas con humus de lombriz y obtienes un abono más sustrato impresionante. Lo utilice para rellenar macetas grandes de 80 litros, donde tengo un naranjo plantado, cunde muchísimo. Una de las propiedades que más me gusta es lo bien que retiene el agua de riego. Muy bien volveré a comprarlo
