Review on Organic Coco Bliss - Low EC And PH Coconut Coir Pith For Healthy Plants And Gardens - OMRI Listed Potting Soil Substrate With 100% Natural Coconut Fibers (10 Blocks, 650 Grams) by Gary Revils

This is my first time trying this material, and it went great--at first. One brick, when I added water, expanded to fill most of a plastic storage bin (roughly 18" x 12" x 8"). I have 120 plant pots, the 2.4" size, and there's definitely enough for all of those with plenty left over. The mix has a nice texture: even when wet, it doesn't stick to your hands as much as regular potting soil does; it dusts off more cleanly. No smell that I've noticed.I was for some reason under the impression that you could grow seeds in JUST this coco coir, no other soil material, so that's what I tried. And the flower seeds (started indoors) sprouted within a few days of planting! Crazy fast. However.after a couple more weeks, they stalled out, and many have since died.So here's the thing about coco coir, I later found, since I didn't do sufficient research at the outset: it doesn't provide nutrients at all, just a material that holds water very well. It's best mixed WITH other soil if you want your seedlings to get the nutrients they need. My fault for not doing more research, and coir does seem a more sustainable alternative to peat moss, so I won't knock it too hard and might even use it again. But in case you're like me and saw this advertised as "great for starting seeds!", take heed. That's not the whole story.
