This 8 quart brick of Compressed Coconut Coir Growing Mix is 100% peat-free renewable coir and expands 5 times its original size by just adding water. Easy to transport, saves on shipping costs, and has a high water retention, so you'll spend less time watering.
coco coir is a great medium for creating my own starting soil. the reason I didn't give it a great rating is that I feel like the amount I got is pretty small considering the price
This is a 1 quart brick not an 8 quart brick as stated in the description. They say it expands 5 times in size when wet but even then you have 5 quarts not 8. This dry brick measures 8 inches by 8.5 inches by 1 inch thick or 68 cubic inches. One US dry quart is 67 cubic inches, one US liquid quart is 58 cubic inches.
The coir itself is finely ground with very few long fibers. The brick breaks apart by hand fairly easily. It makes a great seed starting medium when rehydrated and used with equal parts vermiculite and perlite.
It's a great product to mix with garden soli that keeps moisture to soil and great for garden.
