Organic Coco Coir by Coco Lanka - 10lb/4.5KG Compressed Coco Coir Block with Low EC and pH Balance - High Expansion for Flowers, Herbs, and Planting - Renewable Coconut Soil

I’ve been using this for a couple of months now long enough to give an opinion on it and I can say that my homemade potting mix and seed starting mixes that use this as a base have been doing great.This particular product is a much better value per dollar than what you can buy at brick and mortar stores.I have also used Burpee Coconut Coir and I will say this product is probably a smidge behind that in quality. It doesn’t mix quite as well (to be perfectly clear it isn’t that much of a difference) and I have not compared this to other Coconut Coir options on Amazon. But I am totally satisfied with this so I don’t see any reason to try others and end up with a worse product.

Wow, this was very fast shipping!! I have bought CoCo Lanka coconut core from this seller previously, to help fill my raised beds with good organic material. I mixed this in with my compost to assist with moisture retention and aeration to keep things from getting compacted. This works great! My recommendation for use is to put the block in your wheel barrow (without holes of course!) and then fill it half way with water, letting the block soak for a good 30 minutes. As the block gets saturated, you can begin to break it up and mix it with other organic matter for your beds. Excellent product, would buy again. Reputable seller.

This coco worked perfectly for my needs. I had plants that need arid soil, so I added this to allow the soil to dry out faster and prevent root rot. It comes with the salts pre-rinsed from it so that's a definite plus. I will purchase again.

compared to other coco coir i’ve used this brick did not seem to have the same quality as i had expected. there are clumps of fibers that do not blend in with the overall consistency.

Excellent media.My only complaint is that it's way too expensive.I would buy it much more often if it were less expensive.

I expected this product to be money saving and not having to deal with big bags of potting soil. I find it is remaining to wet in some of my plants and causing some of my plants root rot. It definitely was not a money saver bc I had to go and purchase more potting soil for my plants that were getting rot. I suppose it would be good for older individuals that cannot pick up a heavy bag of soil. Great environmental idea, but I give it a No, for me.

Product is described as sterile, however every attempt to cultivate mushrooms with it led to Trichoderma contamination quickly. I’ve heard rumor of some coco coir manufacturers knowingly selling contaminated coco coir. Apparently it’s more than a rumor. Trichoderma is not usually a problem in soil used for plants, but mushroom substrate is a different matter entirely. This relatively inexpensive block of material ultimately cost me hundreds of dollars in other raw materials. Not cool.

It is what it is
