Review on Organic Coco Bliss Coconut Coir Pith: Ideal Substrate For Your Garden – Low EC And PH, 100% Organic And OMRI Listed (40 Lbs) by Steven Harmon

THIS IS GREAT FOR MYCOLOGY!This Coco Coir is a top notch product for making gourmet mushroom substrates. It's one HUGE 10lb block which equals about 6 1/2 standard Coco Coir blocks for only $17. There are NO pesticides or anti-fungals in the product. This Coco Coir is about as "Organic" as they come. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A HAND SAW WITH LARGE SHARP TEETH TO CUT THE BLOCK INTO SMALLER PIECES.MANURE-FREE SUBSTRATE RECIPE:-Boil 5 quarts of water-Remove from heat-Add 650-800 grams of Coco Coir to boiling water-Add Vermiculite-Add 4x Table Spoons of Gypsum-Mix w/ small garden hand spade-Cover pot/bucket and let sit for a few hours until cool***NO PASTURIZATION REQUIRED***The above recipe should be mixed in a huge stock pot, unsealed pressure cooker, or transfer all ingredients to a 5 gallon bucket and mix there. You are NOT required to pasturize the Coco Coir or manure-free substrate prior to using. If you decide to add Dehydrated manure then you will want to pasturized. The Coco Coir is basically microbe free due to the way it is heated, processed, & sealed during packaging.I highly recommend this brand to any other mushroom growing hobbyists! I hear it's a good brand for grow hydroponic "tomatoes" as well =)Good Vibes & Happy Travels Friends
