Happy Trees Coco Coir Loose Coconut Fiber Growing Medium, Potting Mix, Seed-Starting, Premium Quality, Triple-Washed for Low Salt/EC, pH Balanced, Peat-Free, OMRI Organic, 50L (1.8 cu.ft.)

Love this product! Great for making your own seed starter and potting soil. My plants this summer did Soooo much better than when I used the miracle grow mix (which is getting ridiculously expensive). We were in a bad drought and this really helped water retention. Much better than peet moss (and better for the environment too!)

Love it so far, doesn't seem to pack down and get hard. Like another brand I purchased. To me it's worth the money.

Great product! Perfect moisture level even when shipping to the upper Midwest in the winter. Worth every penny!!! I fully recommend!

Perfect for house plants

Everything on the label is accurate. Clean product no extra buffering no gnats and great absorption. First run with this brand and it's right up there with other major manufacturers and feel coarseness is perfectly acceptable. Will be purchasing this brand again just to see if it was a fluke. Would recommend this Coco for those that grow in it and see how it stands up too your past grows and save your notes in your journal.

Always comes finely shredded

I got started using coir years ago as a bedding material for worm composting. The wrigglers would stay protected under a moist bed of coir, and food scraps were introduced to the bin, and the worms turned everything into a nutrient-rich compost. At the time, I learned that coir could be used to start seeds because it it was light, absorbed water, and it's composition allowed for air to mix in and was good for root development. The same properties made it ideal to amend soil in the garden. However, my go to source for coir has been compressed bricks of the stuff. When added to water, it quickly expands and becomes voluminous as it drinks up water.This bagged coir is dry and ready to go out of the bag and doesn't require any preparation. I used it to line the bottom of my self-watering strawberry planters. The water in the bottom of the planters will wick water up through the coir as needed. However, there are a couple of issues for me with this loose coir. First, the price point is too cost-prohibitive for me to become a regular. I can obtain the same quantity of material for 1/3 to 1/2 of the cost using compressed bricks. For other people, the convenience and the "premium" label may justify the cost. That's just my opinion. Second, after adding this to my planters, I had to water it which displaced this lighter dry material. Maybe I poured to quickly or unevenly, or maybe there is some surface tension with the water that caused the coir to float up? Anyway, I had to go back through to level the valleys and re-add more material. It might work better to add some water to the bag and allow it to soak in before using.The coir itself looks great and behaves as expected once moist. Also, coir is a great replacement for peat moss, which is not a renewable resource. Note: Coir is pH neutral so it can be used with a variety of plants, but it carries no nutrients, so it is usually amended with compost.

Good stuff. I've bought blocks before. This is nice.
