At 650g, a single brick goes further than you might expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoir holds water well while still allowing air to reach the roots, which is the balance that most growing media struggle to strike. It works as a soil amendment, a seed-starting medium, or the base of a potting mix, and it carries no chemical additives. Because it comes from coconut husks, it is a natural alternative to peat, which is worth bearing in mind if you have been looking to move away from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thing most people get wrong is underestimating how much water the brick needs to expand fully. Give it more than you think is necessary, in a bucket rather than a tray, and let it sit for several minutes before breaking it apart. Rushing this step leaves dry pockets in the middle that will not serve your seedlings well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoir is particularly useful for seed sowing and for lightening heavy potting compost; it improves the structure of the mix and helps it drain without drying out too quickly between waterings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompressed coco coir brick, 650g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpands to several litres of growing medium when fully hydrated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for indoor and outdoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse as a soil amendment, seed starter, or potting mix component\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains no chemical additives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRehydrate in a bucket of water before use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow into coir-based mixes from late winter onwards, when the propagating season begins in earnest.
