MagJo Naturals 100% Pure Coco Coir (Coco Peat) 11 Pound Block (5kg, OMRI Listed for Organic Gardening, Coconut Coir - Low EC and pH Balance - High Expansion Coco Fiber for Herbs, Flowers, Planting

Simple enough to soak and mix in my existing raised beds to hopefully aid in hydrophobic soil. So far seems like it’s working!

Wonderful seed starter & in potting soil mixes. Just add some water and let it do its thing!

I am not complaining about how much water it takes to get it to turn to useable soil, but it takes a lot! I bought a huge tub at the Hardware store and put these in it and keep adding gallons of water until it all loosens up. I tried to break off parts and do some at a time, but it was very hard to do that and not the safest using a knife to try and break it up. It is much better to buy a huge tub, put this in it, and add a few gallons of water and let it unravel over 10 or 15 minutes. Get a lid for the tub too. Doing this procedure I have found a few things that started to grow, sprout, over time in the tub, but there was nothing but this in there with water. No seeds ever. So there was one or two seeds that were in it that must have survived the process they do to make these, but I just pulled them out and tossed them. No big deal for me.

Hands down best coco coir I have gotten yet from Amazon. It’s not overly compacted and it holds moisture like it’s supposed to.

Pretty decent product, hold water very well, doesn’t expand to the full 19 gal as advertised. Maybe got 15

I grow almost all of our veggies and herbs indoors year around in my basement garden. I use a high quality potting soil (FoxFarm Ocean Forest), and use coco coir to lighten the soil and help with water retention. I have bought a couple of different brands of coco coir in the 10 lb. blocks which is the most economical way to buy it if you use a lot. This one is an 11 lb. block, so provides a bit more. My husband cuts the block into 4 pieces so I can hydrate one at a time in a 5 gallon container. I put this block in the container and add water to cover a little more than 1/2 of the block. Once spread out, this fills the 5 gallon container. I mix this into my 20 lb. bags of potting soil as needed. In the different brands I have tried, I have found them all to be similar except that this one is 11 pounds rather than 10 lbs. for the others.Coco coir is a great replacement for peat moss as an additive to soil. It lightens the soil and helps to retain moisture in the soil so it doesn't completely dry out so easily. This is especially helpful for plants in larger pots. When large pots of soil dry and you water, the water often drains through the soil without actually moisten it. You may think you sufficiently watered the plant, but the soil is actually still dry. Adding coco coir to the soil helps to catch the water so it can be absorbed by the soil.Coco coir can be used as a seed starter or for cloning plants, but it must be kept in mind that it has no nutrients for plant growth. New plants or clones should be transplanted into soil as they grow, and nutrients should be added.One of the pictures is my 5 gallon bin with 1/4 of this block hydrated. The block next to it is 1/4th of this 11 lb. block. Hopefully, this gives you an idea of how much this coco coir expands when hydrated. The other picture show how fluffy this coco coir is when hydrated.I hope this review was helpful for you.

This stuff is great! I bought 3 bundles. I only needed 1. Much more than I expected, even had a lot left.

Great product and service. Highly recommended!
