FAQs

Are these bricks organic?

Yes, they are derived from natural coconut husks and are a renewable, organic-friendly gardening medium.

Can I use this for seed starting?

Absolutely. Coco coir is an excellent medium for seed starting due to its sterile nature and ability to maintain consistent moisture.

Does it contain added fertilizers?

The bricks are primarily a growing medium. While they provide essential structural benefits, you may wish to add your preferred plant food for heavy feeders.

How much compost do I get from the pack?

The two-pack provides a total of 18 litres of hydrated compost (9 litres per brick).

Is it safe for pets?

Yes, coco coir is a natural, non-toxic product safe for use around households with pets.

Troubleshooting

Brick is not expanding after adding water

Ensure you are using enough water; the coir needs to be fully saturated to break apart the compressed fibers.

Coir feels too soggy after hydration

Allow the hydrated coir to drain slightly or mix it with more dry soil or perlite to improve drainage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 100% peat-free and sustainable
  • Easy to store and transport due to compact brick form
  • Excellent moisture control prevents soil compaction
  • Balanced pH suitable for diverse plants
  • Easy to re-wet and handle

Cons

  • Requires water and waiting time for expansion before use
  • Lacks the high nutrient density of heavy fertilizers
  • Must be stored in a dry place to prevent premature hydration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Place the dry brick in a large bucket or tray.
  2. Hydration: Slowly pour water over the brick. Allow it a few minutes to absorb the liquid fully. Stir or break apart clumps once the expansion is complete.
  3. Application: Mix the resulting medium directly into your garden beds or potting containers at a ratio suited to your plant's specific needs.
  4. Storage: Keep any unused bricks in a cool, dry area. Ensure the packaging remains sealed to prevent moisture from triggering the expansion process prematurely.
  5. Maintenance: Because coco coir is naturally resistant to pests and decay, it requires minimal long-term care once integrated into your soil.
