Minute Soil - Compressed Coco Coir Fiber Grow Medium - 40 MM Wafers - Bag of 30 = 5.5 Quarts of Potting Soil - Indoor Container Gardening: Seed Starts, Wheatgrass, More - Just Add Water - OMRI Organic

I love these discs! They are so easy to use and for me being in a wheelchair, all I need to do is place three discs in my planter for my cats grass, wait until it magically grows -- then spread it with a fork (used only for this purpose), spread my seeds, press the seeds in gently, cover with some of the dirt and then cover and place on a shelf for a few days until the seeds take.I go through a few packs a year -- as I use three at a time. Price is great too and NO MESS!

This is excellent coco coir. It expands to an airy and light product that works great for both seed starting and bends for potted plants. The water runs through it quickly but remains full of moisture. What makes this particularly good coco coir is the expanded product is an especially fine grain, extra fluffy, and spongy (compared to other coco coir I’ve tried). I generally prefer coco coir over peat moss for both ecological reasons and the efficacy of coco coir over peat moss. This is particularly good coco coir and after using this product I don’t understand why people even bother with peat moss. Peat moss can easily dry into a solid bricklike substance whereas coco coir (especially this one) remains airy even if you accidentally under water. Since using this product there has been a noticeable improvement with my microgreen yield, my potted plants look happier, and the price point is reasonable. I’ve purchased this multiple times now and have been very satisfied every time.The only issue I have with it is it’s a rather large block and a bit of a commitment when you expand it to 15 gallons, but that is probably part of the reason it’s priced lower per volume than other products. To help avoid mold during storage I dry the expanded product in the oven on a low temperature (no hotter than 180 F). Higher temperatures release toxins into the soil like ammonium which are bad for plants so if you do this, keep the oven no hotter than 180 F. Then I combine it with 1 part vermiculite for 6 parts coco coir for an especially fluffy grow medium.

This is a great start for my raised bed and since I lined the bottom of it with this coconut coir, it should keep my plant's roots moist throughout the growing season. It grew to fill the wheelbarrow with lovely soft bedding, which I lined my raised bed and hanging planters with. What a great start for my seedlings. They're loving it.

Used to start and grow veggies. Seeds grew within three days. Still has not support full growth. Very easy to work with and has a nice texture. Will buy again

I’m disabled and putting the water on this and it becoming dirt was so easy and it was easy for me to carry because it’s light until you put water on it. but I can put a small amount of water and I can rub small amounts of dirt off. I just rubbed it off and I just kept doing it until I get the amount of dirt I need, l leave the rest of the bar dry until I need more dirt. I do ended up with a full contain of dirt.

Amazing stuff. It expands into SO MUCH SOIL! It holds a lot of waster , too. Impressive.

I like to grow herbs in the quasi-hydroponic Click and Grow system, but the plants have a finite growth period in that system because plant food is stored in the growing medium and not delivered in the water. Transplanting is required for continued growth.I have been transplanting to standard potting soils like the MG brand. Every time I use potting soil, I am greeted by an infestation of annoying fungus gnats.Other indoor gardeners recommended a medium of coco coir + perlite, fed/watered with a nutrient solution. I had no experience with coir, and decided to try these pucks.These remind me a lot of desiccated sponge toys - when they get wet, they explode in size. These 80mm pucks do quickly expand to give a full liter of "soil." I love how the coir can be worked by hand, and not leave my fingernails dirty like potting soil with its manure/compost content. I created a medium of about 4:1 coir-to-perlite, placed it in my pots, and transplanted my herbs from Click and Grow.It has been about 6 weeks, and my herbs are thriving in the coir-based medium - it holds moisture extremely well, and I water them lightly about once a week with a dilute nutrient solution. Most importantly, I have not seen a fungus gnat!

Everything I planted has died. On the other hand, the batch I mixed with actual soil is growing melons like crazy, but the batch that's just coir has died completely.
