Coir (coconut fiber) is a completely natural byproduct of the huge coconut growing industry of the island of Sri Lanka. Coir is an excellent growing medium for all kinds of containers and baskets. Improves other potting mixes when you blend them together. It retains plenty of moisture, but is very porous which allows for good air circulation and healthy root development of seedlings and cuttings. It is sterilized for freedom from weeds and plant pathogens.
Each 650 gram brick (about 1.4 lbs.) is compressed 8 to 1. So it makes a whole bucketful of growing compost, more than 2 gallons, when soaked with 1.2 gallons of lukewarm water.
This product is OMRI certified ORGANIC.

Coco Fiber wins!
This is my first time using this product. It is supposedly better for our environment and I am all for that! It soaked up water beautifully and when I mixed in perlite, bone meal, and grit for drainage it made an extremely nice potting material for bulbs in pots that I winter over in an outdoor shed. Looking forward to putting these pots in my spring garden!

Coco-Fiber bricks
Love these bricks. I've been using them for years now. They are compact if they need to be stored, much better than bags of potting soil. I do mix them with container soil for window boxes and large planters, and use the fiber by itself for seed starting. Better than peat moss for keeping moisture in. They arrived much sooner than I expected.

Love this stuff!
I really like this. It's great to mix with potting soil. I also use to amend the soil in my clay heavy garden.

bug-free coconut coir
We actually don't use these coconut coir bricks for a gardening purpose, but rather for use in our waterless marine toilet. We love these bricks, because unlike others we tried, there were no bugs or eggs lurking inside. A big no-no on a boat! These bricks are amazingly compacted, so be aware that they grow to about 5x their size when fully wetted.
