I’m trying to end my love/hate relationship with rockwool. I heard good things from a friend and decided to try this coir. The bocks are very convenient but didn’t expand as much as I thought and was finer cut/grind than I expected. I use it with hydroponic drip system 75/25 with perlite. That mix has worked out very well. I had to add screens to the pump and drain because bits of coir washed out of the pots, especially at first. At this point it works fine, now that the initial washout is over and screens are in place. I probably will go with a different medium for drip systems because of the washout mess, but would happily use it other types of hydroponics or aeroponics as a starter medium. Even though some of what I wrote seems negative, any issues were a result of my lack of understanding about the product. I went in hoping for something like rockwool, but safe and compostable. Coir is not that. I will happily use it again for some applications now that I know what to expect from the coir bricks. I don’t have enough experience with coir to recommend it vs other brands of coir. All I can say is my plants are thriving.

Great for a composting toilet and i also add the coir in my garden both.

I use this for my house plants and it works really well. It holds more moisture and I just create my own mix from it

Exactly as described! Love it!

I was really impressed with the quality of this Cococoir. It arrived clean with no unwanted dust particles and absolutely no unpleasant smell—just a natural, earthy coconut husk scent, which I really liked. It expands about 2.5 times its original size when hydrated, which makes it super efficient and easy to store. The texture is perfect for improving aeration and drainage, which has made a big difference in the health of my plants. Plus, its water retention is incredible—holds up to 10 times its weight in water! If you’re into gardening or need a reliable growing medium, this is definitely worth trying. Highly recommended!

DOES NOT EXPAND AS ADVERTISED. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! DOES NOT HOLD ONTO WATER! LEAKS LIKE CRAZY! DO NOT USE IN GROW BAGS! YOU'LL BE STUCK WATERING MORE OFTEN AND IF YOU USE SEAL CONTAINER, YOU'LL GET WATERLOG WITH ROOT ROT.

I use this as substrate for mushroom cultivation. It is truly 100% coco coir with no additives. I had no contamination issues after pasteurizing it. I also like that the brick is easy to break apart without having to soak first. I only use about 1/3 of the brick at a time so I don't want to have to soak and break up the whole thing just to use some of it.

This is my second order and nothing like the first. These bricks were easily broken apart by hand and equaled half the amount as the description advertised! The first brick was added to a 5 gallon bucket and added water per instructions and was so wet that I broke the other brick apart by hand to soak up the moisture.
