Legigo Pack of 10 Organic Coco Coir Bricks- 100% Natural Compressed Coco Peat Brick Coconut Fiber Substrate with Low EC&pH Balance, Plant Soil Enhance Root Growth for Herbs, Flowers, House Plants

Excellent bricks to make your own soil with. I blend with other organics and soils along with sandy loam, perlite, worm castings, bat guano, mycorrhizae spores, etc making an all around healthy well draining yet water retentive soil.

I live in a Tiny House without septic or sewer. I'm 74, female in decent health and mobility, but no spring chicken either. I use these only in my toliet, about 1 1/2 bricks each change, which is about 2 weeks. 2 weeks is probably shorter than most need to change the pot out. I had a surgery that left me with half of my large intestine so I "go" twice as much as I would otherwise. Odor issues; there is a slight woodsy odor which is not at all unpleasant but there is a fan attached to the pot that pulls the air out. No noticeable odor outside that I can tell and no neighbors have complained. I do have to properly dispose of tissue paper or else I will get a urine odor, so that involves placing tissue into a trash can and then emptying it. No big deal. The urine catcher has to be emptied more often. It has a seal thing on the neck that prevents spillage and therefore odor as well. My kids and grandkids live 400 feet away so I can dump urine in their system. The poop pot is different. When time to change, I simply put a kitchen tall plastic garbage bag over the top, turn it upside down and you cannot believe how cleanly everything comes out, leaving a sorta clean pot. If it's not raining I just turn the hose on it to clean out the odd coconut bits. If I have to cause of weather, I can skip the cleaning, and still no odor. I place this in the trash and so I do have to plan change out day accordingly to trash pick up days. I'm tempted to use gopher holes for the urine as I have observed males using the ground outdoors as a toliet on more than one occasion. It rains a lot here. I have not been tempted to use the pot contents as fertilizer for my large garden even though this IS a custom in some cultures and even though it looks like you could use it for that. I hope this helps someone. Oh, the pot does get heavy, so mom or grandpa should be able to lift 30 pounds or so for a very short time, or be really good at leveraging, or just help them out with this part.

They’re really good and no weeds growing in my pots when i mixed them with the soils.

Added to lifted bed because this is what I stated my seeds in, add a lot to the volume and quality of soil, helped with transplants of my seedlings. Makes a LOT of peat. Good for moisture retention. No mold this far.

Wife used it for green house starters. My daughter(8yrs) got a kick out of watching it grow

good

A great soil amendment or mix with vermiculite and perlite to make your own seed starter.

The coco coir itself is nice, but there are several pieces of plastic inside. A lot of white and yellow, some blue etc. which is pretty bothersome, but not the end of the world. I’m using this is pots and raised beds so I’m not too concerned about some pieces being left in, but it is not ideal and shows a quality control issue during manufacturing.The blocks themself take a lots of water to separate and it takes a bit of time to do so. Just kind of a hassle to fuss with them and I have to aid in breaking the pieces down. But with that being said, it can be a space saver and can be good to avoid heavy bags of soil. You can just expand one if you only need a little.
